A designed endmill goes to the grinder

1.10.6

Send a quoted solid carbide endmill from Design Engineer to a tool grinding order in Machinist, with the rod, wheels and fluid kept in Stock.

Updated 5 October 2026

A machining enquiry in the AI interface is now read by the machining selector into an endmill specification, with each choice cited and no model call when the words are enough. Design Engineer gains a Make it panel for the endmill: the rod, the wheel set, the machine and the process, planned from your own stock. A saved design can be quoted and sent to the factory.

Machinist gains a Tool grinding machine module, installed by the Solid carbide tool making preset: each grinder's wheel pack drawn to scale, a printable factory order, and the grind section by section. Stock gains categories for products, rod and material, tooling and fluids, an item's wheel or fluid specification and an On machines view. The grinder's own software still sets the wheel path.
