Form Tool Calculation Program
Form Tool Design Manual
FEATURES
- Leads you through problems.
- Eliminates long, complicated manual calculations.
- Eliminates corrected diameter tables, charts, graphs, trig tables, and square root calculations.
- Calculates any Circular Form Tool - regardless of Diameter, Offset or Top Rake.
- Calculates any Flat Type Form Tool - regardless of Front Clearance Angle or Top Rake.
- Can print out answers for a permanent record.

FOR RESHARPENABLE QUICK CHANGE FORM TOOL INSERTS
All you need to do is enter:• Front Clearance Angle = 12º
• Top Rake Angle = 5º
• Base Diameter of Part =
Then as you enter each part diameter, the program calculates the corrected step difference.

FOR RESHARPENABLE QUICK CHANGE SHAVE TOOL INSERTS
All you need to do is enter:• Front Clearance Angle = 0º
• Top Rake Angle = 0º
• Base Diameter of Part = .000",.125" or .500" depending on holder being used
Then as you enter each part diameter, the program calculates the corrected step difference.

FOR CIRCULAR FORM TOOLS
All you need to do is enter:• Tool Diameter ---
• Tool Offset Distance---
• Top Rake Angle---
• Base Diameter of Part---
Then as you enter each part diameter, the program calculates tool diameter and step difference.

FOR FLAT TYPE FORM TOOLS
All you need to do is enter:• Front Clearance Angle ---
• Top Rake Angle---
• Base Diameter of Part---
Then as you enter each part diameter, the program calculates the corrected step difference.

FOR RADIUS PROBLEMS
All you need to do is enter:• Enter any two of the three dimensions of a chord.
The program will calculate the third dimension.
