Re: Curve at the end of a knife blade, nearest the handle. How do you do this?
John Stoltzfus Aug 24, 2017 2:31 PM (in response to John Stoltzfus)Draw a triangle at the end of the wrench handle and on the top of the wrench draw a straight line towards the wrench head and then add a tangent arc at the end of the straight line, close the sketch and use the Cut Sweep Feature... Do you have 2017? can you upload the file??

Jay Brabble Aug 24, 2017 2:51 PM (in response to Christian Chu)ok, thanks, I will let you know how it goes. My blade has 3 sides, sharpened front and back, top flat has radii at corners.

Newell Voss Aug 24, 2017 2:45 PM (in response to Jay Brabble)like john stated a swept cut will probably be your best option.
specify your desired angle for the cutting edge. draw a path sketch on top that starts from the initial angle at the handle and then create a spline tangent to that line and also tangent to the OD of the model and boom goes the dynamite.

Jay Brabble Aug 24, 2017 3:26 PM (in response to John Stoltzfus)It is symmetrical. Origin at center, thickness from Mid-plane. How is it not symmetrical? This is what my customer wants.

Where have you read that "I" said it's Not Symmetrical - Newell Voss only mentioned that a part like this is best designed Symmetrical, again none of us implied that the part you made isn't symmetrical. Here the fatality of the Great American Eclipse was way south of us, and maybe I'm a little off skilter myself, I'm surely not symmetrical by a long shot....

Re: Curve at the end of a knife blade, nearest the handle. How do you do this?
Newell Voss Aug 24, 2017 4:32 PM (in response to Jay Brabble)yeah I wasn't attacking your design practices or model by any means. (I don't think it was attached so there is no way I would have even been able to tell..) I was just simply clarifying that if you are to follow my instruction your part would need to be "centered" for the mirroring to work properly. some people need a little extra hand holding with their directions so I figured I would make the comment.

John is the one who commits lot of time on the forum to help many and YES, you're talking to the right person
There are only few on the forum (you can see from their ID) from SW, most of us are here to learn and help others without any pay
I guess it's ok if you don't want to show appreciation, but please don't "offend" the helpers - this is not a customer service/technical support !!!
Thanks.

No offence taken from this side, there's ego egg shells on the floor, just watch where you walk, but just stroll on over to the The "Kitty Dump" - CHECK THIS OUT - https://forum.solidworks.com/message/937907 - SWIFT The Dump is back to normal business hours, No TTL - No SWW - A lot of LOVE either Real or Sarcastic - Bring it, Trash it, Rant it, Poop it ;) - to trash this post to oblivion....

Re: Curve at the end of a knife blade, nearest the handle. How do you do this?
J. Mather Aug 25, 2017 10:50 AM (in response to Jay Brabble)If you have any lead-in/lead-out where the cutter is still in contact with the part - you will need to include that in the sweep path.

John Stoltzfus Aug 25, 2017 10:40 AM (in response to J. Mather)J. Mather - the only thing missing in your example is that you have the machining chips hidden, please show them so Jay Brabble knows which way to fixture the part and direction of machining..

Re: Curve at the end of a knife blade, nearest the handle. How do you do this?
David Matula Aug 24, 2017 4:54 PM (in response to Jay Brabble)learning the sweep cut is the way to go....other options is creating a lot of planes and sketches to get you where you want to go....should have been there before all these nice cutting options came along.....
the other thing that you could do is just sweep the profile of the blade and not worry about the cut....I never worry about what I start with and just make a lot of the parts the way I want them to turn out....

Re: Curve at the end of a knife blade, nearest the handle. How do you do this?
Jay Brabble Aug 25, 2017 11:30 AM (in response to David Matula)Success! Could not sweep the solid profile as described above so I made a plane tangent to the endpoint of the sweep profile, drew my cut shape directly on that plane and it worked, Thanks everyone!

John Stoltzfus Aug 25, 2017 12:09 PM (in response to J. Mather)100% - plus if I could - J. Mather - and..... nothing disturbs me more then an "UNDER DEFINED" Sketch, Blue lines in a sketch are an accident waiting to happen, and with the way Jay Brabble was jumping down our throats while we were trying to help, definitely an accident that did happen and hopefully in due respect to everybody, if you come out swinging then you better know where to hit and what you just friggen hit.. Cheers and adios from my end
