Chamfer, round-over, and bowl tool paths

[WillAdams (William Adams (Carbide 3D))]

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:

Using unsupported tooling in Carbide Create: Roundover / Cove / Radius bits

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.
