I would like to create machine cut in Pro E that would mimic ball-- end cutter. I need to make "kind of helical sweep", just like on a lead screw but my "screw" does not have circular cross section but triangular and it is not straight but full donut. I created this geometry but it is very expensive to make .
I think I can do equivalent part when I create ball-cutter groove on the top of the donut then I would flip it upside down and create second half of the "coil". This would allow for "straight pull" and make my part less expensive.
I am attaching small sketch to illustrate the groove I am trying to make.
Any help greatly appreciated
