New user help with entering values

Hi,

I'm new to FSWizard and machining so please be patient if this is a stupid question.
I'm using an ISCAR F45ST-D3.0-1.00 facemill with SEKT43-AF-R inserts.
Hopefully I've uploaded both the cutter and insert geometry.
Since the insert has a 0.252" flat (BS), is it a 90 deg lead angle or 45?
Also, the cutter seems to have a rake angle relative to the spindle (vertical). Do I need to account for this?

What should I enter for corner radius, flute length, helix angle and lead angle?

Thanks!!

It is a 45deg Lead Angle

The Helix Angle field should handle that angle. But if you don't know the exact value, it is OK to leave that one default.

In your case, the Corner Angle will be 0, Flute Length = APMX, Helixa Angle - the rake angle (if you can measure it) Lead Angle = 45deg

Please let me know if this answers your questions.
