The angle of inclination of the side (main) cutting edge is measured the cutting plane and is the angle included between the cutting edge and a line passing through the tool nose parallel to the basic plane R (Figs. 7 and 8)..

The angle of inclination (also called the slope angle) is considered to be negative if the nose is the highest point of the cutting edge (Fig. 8a). It is equal to zero if the cutting edge is parallel to the basic plane (Fig. 8b) and positive if the tool nose is the lowest point of the cutting edge (Fig. 8c).

In addition to angles and measured in the main reference plane, it is sometimes necessary (for example, in tool grinding and sharpening) to refer to angles which are measured in the longitudinal (parallel to the tool axis) and transverse (perpendicular to the tool axis) planes i.e. in the Machine Reference System (Fig. 9). In the longitudinal plane AA ( Y) (Fig. 23), the rake and the side (main) flank surface will have the angles lg and lg, while in the transverse plane BB ( X) (Fig. 23), the angles will be tr and tr.

is the back rake angle which is an angle in the transverse plane, Y, between Ym+ axis and the tool face. lg is the back clearance angle which is an angle in the transverse plane, Y, between Zm+ axis and the tool flank surface. tr is the side rake angle which is an angle in the longitudinal plane, x, between Xm+ axis and the tool face. tr is side clearance angle which is an angle in the longitudinal plane, x, between Zm+ axis and the tool flank surface.
