Please add support for round-over, chamfer, and bowl tool paths to Carbide Create Pro.

Chamfer tooling can just be entered as a V endmill (so long as it doesn’t have a flat bottom).
For a work-around for roundover tooling see:
These are usually used in routers for decorative effects in wood:
but they are potentially useful for joinery:
They are also useful for rounding off parts to allow rotary motion as for a hinged lid.
Unfortunately, Carbide Create does not support this endmill geometry — but using the new support for previewing a V endmill when used in a No Offset Contour toolpath, it should be possible to preview them w/ confidence by stacking a series of V endmill cuts.

@WillAdams I appreciate the insight. I’ve tried these methods, and they work; however, they are not as straightforward as having a dedicated toolpath. From my perspective, Carbide Create Pro’s value is that it will eventually through added features minimize the number of workarounds needed to complete machine operations.
