Filters

Displays the rows that match the Class, Custom Material, Machine, Tool Type, and Surface Finish selected. These are defined as:

Class Sets the material classes and custom material classes from the SOLIDWORKS material database. You can have many instances of the same Class with a different Custom Material to denote finish and other characteristics that affect costs, but you cannot define physical properties (such as density).
Custom Material Sets a material name associated with the selected Class.
Machine Sets the name of the turning machine.
Tool Type Sets the tooling operation to use. Select one of the following:

OD Turning

Removes material from a part's outer diameter.

ID Turning

Removes material from a part's inner diameter.

Facing

Removes material from a part's end face.

OD Grooving

Adds grooving to a part's outer diameter.

ID Grooving

Adds grooving to a part's inner diameter.

Face Grooving

Adds grooving to a part's end face.

Chamfer/Fillet

Adds chamfers or fillets to a part's edges.
Surface Finish Sets the finish generated by the tool while removing material. Select one of the following:

Roughing

Creates a standard finish generated by the tool. Use roughing to remove the maximum material.

Semi-Finishing

Creates a smoother finish than roughing.

Finishing

Creates the smoothest finish.
H Height Sets the width of the groove-cutting tool.
Fr Feed rate Sets the length of feed per revolution.
S Surface speed Sets the speed of the spinning surface.
d Radial depth of cut Sets the depth of the cut (radius inward from outside surface).
r Tool nose radius Sets the radius of the nose end of tooling.
