Using CAD CAM system for manufacturing of innovative cutting tool

Development of machining process depends of cutting tools and machine tools. Various new tools are being developed and tested. For example single edge tools, especially for oblique cutting. Oblique cutting process using special tools with continued cutting edge make new possibilities to research. This tools are very useful especially for surface finishing. Single edge tools exist with straight and circular edge. In paper was presented CAD (Autodesk PowerShape) model of new solution innovative tool curvilinear cutting edge. Using CAD model was elaborated in CAM system (Autodesk PowerMill) program for machining this tool using 5-axis DMG MORI DMU 50 milling machine. The tool was made for research with possibility of change value of main cutting edge angle - λs.
