This study aims to geometrically analyze the generating mechanism of machined surfaces in radius end milling. In this report, to clarify the dependence of the machined surface shape on the tool axis direction, we propose an iterative calculation method to determine parameter values using approximate ruled surfaces and the internal division ratio of sections including their endpoints. By applying this method to calculate the machined surface shape for 792 combinations of tool axis direction, it was found that the maximum Rz of 21.0 μm occurred at a slant angle of 55°and a bearing angle of 270°. In contrast, the minimum Rz of 6.4 μm occurred at a slant angle of 5°and a bearing angle of 60°.
