If you request a tip size of 0.010”, this value would be: 10. If you request a tip size of 0.5mm, this value will be: 50. The tip diameter is the dimension of the flat end of the engraving tool. This value is unaffected by the unit prefix. The half angle dictates the degree of the pointed end of the engraving tool.īe sure that you specify if you are providing a “half” or “included” angle.įor instance, if you ask for a 90-degree included angle, the half angle will be 45 degrees The requested shank diameter is the main determining factor for unit prefix. When you have a 598 prefix, you’ll have inch values for shank and tip diameter. When you have a 599 prefix, you’ll have metric values for shank and tip diameter. The unit prefix affects two parameters: shank diameter and tip diameter. These help us to generate part numbers for engraving tools and may help you to understand our part numbers.
