More about draft angles

Here is a short list of criteria that affect the manufacture of draft angles:

  • A tool of the exact size radius is not required to finish the feature, but without the exact size, the pass generally leaves a scallop.
  • The finish operation with a tapered tool only goes down to the intersection of the straight side and the bottom radius.
  • The rough operations are generated unless the scallop height is set to 0.
  • Scallops are never at the top edge of the feature except when cut with flat-end tools.
