Create a groove consistent with a milling cutter
Create a groove consistent with a milling cutter
(OP)
Hi,
I'm trying to model a groove on a curved surface that is to be made on a 5 axis. I only know how to sweep a 2d Sketch which when going around radii smaller than that sketch width causes a clash and cusp error. (see below)
In real life this isn't a problem because we are just cutting away the material, but it would be nice to have the groove modeled as if a circular cutter had been ran around this curve normal to the support surface.
Is there any way to do this in Part Design or GSD?
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Harun, Oh that's great, I didn't realise I could get some control lines. Presumably from the "Location Values" tab? It looks like it's only for straight lines through, not a profile.
I'll have a play over the weekend. Thanks,

I use this option when i have very complex curve and I must make surface for spliting.
For example when i making surface for trim cutter, if a can see good you want the same.
