Makes the solid a flat on a round shaft removes: everything beyond a plane depth in from the
surface, along length.
It starts at the frame's origin on the axis, runs along the normal and faces the frame's direction.
The diameter, the depth, the length and the frame
The tool as a solid
Cuts a flat into a round shaft, as flatTool places it, such as the D flat a set screw bears on.
The body given is kept; a new solid comes back.
The shaft, the diameter, the depth, the length and the frame
The shaft with the flat cut
Machining on round shafts and bores, by the standard that sizes it:
isomodels ISO metric threads,dincuts DIN keyways, ring grooves, knurls and splines, andansicuts their inch counterparts, Unified threads included, each in the unit asked for. Flats, sized by their own depth in model units, sit here beside them; each feature comes as a tool for a design's boolean and as a method that cuts it from a body.
