Matching Design With Process
Larger Inside Corner Radius
Larger Corner Radius
Smaller Corner Radius
Inside corner radius size determines the cutting tool diameter, and smaller tools take much longer to remove material. This can also affect surface finish, as larger cutters are much more ridged and less prone to chatter and cutting with a taper. The added time and dificulty to control surface finish directly impacts cost.
