Cutting edge height calculated wrongly #325

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a chamfer tool
2. Set diameter to 6mm
3. Set flat radius to 1.5mm (3mm dia)
4. Set cutting edge angle to 8

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- Going from a 1.5mm radius to 3mm radius at 8deg angle is achieved over 
10.778mm. However the display shows 32mm.
Using (tool_diameter - flat_radius)/sin(angle) = 32.xx so I assume the value 
used is simply wrong. The displayed 3D model of the tool however, is correct!

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.22.0
