Oval cylinder flat pattern, top cut along, base cut across
A flat oval tube whose top is cut along its length and whose base is cut across it, the two cuts turned at right angles to each other. Give the oval's size, the height between the cuts on the centre line and each cut's angle.
A straight tube of oval section, its top cut along the oval and its base cut across it, the two cuts at right angles in plan.
Sizes you enter
- Length (L): Overall length of the oval, on the surface chosen under Sheet.
- Width (W): Width of the oval: the diameter of its half circles. At most the length.
- Height at the centre (H): Along the tube's centre line, from where the base cut crosses it to where the top cut does.
- Cut angle (A): Angle between the top cut and the base, seen from the front (along the oval): low at the left end, rising to the right. 0 = square.
- Base cut angle (B): Angle between the base cut and a square end, across the oval (seen from the side): high under the back flat, falling to the front. 0 = square.
What you get
The exact flat pattern of the part, worked out for the sheet thickness measured on the inside, the mean or the outside, with numbered press lines, the part in 3D, its weight and cutting length, and a DXF for laser, plasma or waterjet cutting (STEP as well).
