I would love to have the ability to have two “Pocket Tool"s for Advanced V Carving. In making several wedding gifts, I use fonts with serifs. I am able to use the 1/4” 201 cutter to hog out much of the material, but the 60 degree V bit has to spend a LOT of time carving out the areas the 1/4" bit cannot reach (mostly in the serifs and narrower areas of the carve). I would love to select 2 tools for the pocket. A 1/4" to hog out the majority of the material, and a 1/8" or 1/16" to save the extra 45 minutes of carving with the tip of the v bit. I think I could create an offset shape and hog out the larger interior spaces as a separate function, but then the advanced v-carve wouldn’t get the outside edges, it would see the other side of the offset vector as the other side of the v-carve and mess up the plan. Or, it would see the space already cleared by the 1/4" bit as needing to be cleared by the 1/8" or 1/16" bit and the time savings would be wasted. Anyhow, the ability for create to allow for 2 Pocket Tools, and ignore the space already cleared by the first tool, would save a LOT of carving time - not to mention the tip of my v-bit. Thanks!

I would like to see rest machining (Pro Version) to as you did use a 1/4" to hog out the majority and then finish with a smaller bit before the vee bit does its work. Vee bits work but take forever to hog out areas the larger bits cannot fit in.

This would be a very nice feature.
