Measurement of Cutting Tool Edge With 3D Metrology

For a particular tool, the edges precision is expected to meet intended results during use in machining. Because the depth of cut is controlled to the nanometer level, the tool cutting edge profile is an important factor to influence the final quality of a machined surface. By analysis of a 3D-Profilometer the edge correctness can be determined to insure quality control before production and or during the life of the tool.
