Modelling mill cutters in SolidWorks

Modelling mill cutters in SolidWorks

(OP)
I am having difficulting modelling a eccentric relief, helix angle 45°, ball nose, 3 flute in Solidworks. How do you model the teeth in Solidworks? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

RE: Modelling mill cutters in SolidWorks

That's a broad question.  Are you familiar with sweeping a profile or a cut along a helical path (check help files)?  You'll need to understand that fairly well, only with a ball end mill you'll want to edit the end of the helical path to curve under to the centerline.

How accurate does this need to be?
