Measurement

How a physical quantity gets from a real cutter or a real cut into the model. These are protocols rather than theory: follow them and the simulation is fed a measured number instead of a default.

Ordered from the cutter on the bench, through the instrument that watches it, to the cutter in the cut and the experiment that has to be designed before it.

• Radial Angle Measurement — Reading the radial rake and radial relief angles off a cutting-plane scan
• Smart Tool Holder — The moment arm and installation angle that decide whether the holder's torque is scaled right at all
• Smart Holder Training — The three cut shapes and the conditions that let a smart tool holder train milling coefficients
• Designing a Training Cut Set — The two degeneracies that leave a coefficient unrecoverable whatever the data quality, and the helix and feed spread that remove them
