Abstract:In this paper, a calculation method of forming cutter contour of involute helical with arbitrary easement is presented, the segmantal arcs of the best uniform approximation and tolerance to fit smoothly the cutter contour points are used the profile on the cross section of the helical is calculated and the design of the cutter is examined. The method can be used to design precision forming cutter of involute helical with the arbitrary easement. It is valuable in engineering application.
