This isn’t really specific to any machine, but I can’t figure out what they’re for, and no amount of searching seems to be leading me to an answer, so I’m hopeful one of you CNC masters can help.
Sometimes tool manufacturers or vendors offer DXF and PDF Tool Files that you can download. I downloaded one, and it’s just a drawing of the tool itself. What is this used for? Do some CAM softwares have importers for such a thing?
Can anyone help satisfy my curiosity, please? Because I don’t understand this, and I don’t seem to be able to find the answer, and I don’t like when that happens.
Here is a pdf version that I got from Tools Today: 45984.pdf (67.3 KB)
Here’s the link where you can find that document, under the CNC Feed/Speed tab:
