Explains how project systems provide support for visual designers to access generated classes and types through temporary portable executable (PE) files.

Example: Find the metal remove rate for an external grinding operation on a 6” diameter shaft, with a 0.001” depth of cut and 12 in/min traverse. Removal Rate = 12 (in/min) x 0.001 (in) x 6 (in) x 3.14 = 0.23 in3/min

Traverse (ipr) = 0.75 x Grinding Wheel Width (in) Example: Find the traverse rate for a roughing operation using a 6” diameter x 1/2” wheel thickness x 1/2” bore grinding wheel.  Traverse = 0.75 x 1/2 (in) = 0.375 ipr

DefaultExtension Provides details about the DefaultExtension method, which retrieves the file name extension that is given to the output file name.

Custom tools are associated with a ProjectItem interface object, and are like designers and editors. A custom tool takes the file represented by a ProjectItem as input and writes a new file whose file name is provided by the DefaultExtension method.

Custom tools let you associate a tool with an item in a project and run that tool whenever the file is saved. Certain custom tools, sometimes referred to as single-file generators, are frequently used to implement translators that generate code from data and vice versa. For example, single-file generators create Visual C# and Visual Basic source code out of the .settings and .resx files. The generated source code provides strongly-typed access to the data in the .settings and .resx files. The Visual C# and Visual Basic project types support custom tools; Visual C++ project types do not. Your own project types can also support custom tools.

For most tool post grinding operations, the material removal rate is dependent upon three factors: work diameter, depth of cut and traverse rate. The removal rate is expressed in cubic inch per minute (in3), and can be found using the following equation:

Describes how to use Visual Studio projects and solutions to organize code files and resource files, and how to implement source control.

Traverse Traverse feed depends upon the width of grinding wheel being used and the grinding operation being performed. For roughing, 3/4 the width of the grinding wheel should be fed per work revolution. For finishing operations, a finer feed of 1/8 or less the width of the grinding wheel per work revolution is used. To find the traverse rates, the following formulas can be used.

Depth of Cut The depth of cut used for roughing should be as much as the grinding wheel can stand without breaking down. For finishing, the depth of cut is always light – 0.001” or less.
