Figure 21: Blade summary JOB1_AUX.BFN for the Uniflex cutter
(or grinding wheel)

Because the smaller cutter uses blades with a smaller width, it might be diffi-
cult to fit the axial grind depth on the blade. The CONIBLD blade grinding
summary program uses a Blade Top Width = Blade Distance – 0.5mm. The
blade distance is calculated:

Blade Distance =
Blade Width–0.89•Axial Grind Depth•tan(Blade Pressure Angle)

In the Example: Blade distance = 12.7–0.88•28.90•tan(20°) = 3.44mm
Space left for blade top width 3.44 – 0.5 = 2.94mm
