Tool Libraries for Import?

[spindlebox (Scott)]

Are there any preexisting tool libraries for import into Carbide Create to make things easier? I’m looking for a comprehensive list of Amana tools for instance. There are many I am considering that are not already in the library; i.e., amana 46280-k.

Thank you!

These are usually used in routers for decorative effects in wood: https://www.whitesiderouterbits.com/products/1570 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 o…
