V bit question help

1

I have a shapeoko pro and for Xmas kids got me so IDC endmills and V bits. I never used anything but what I bought from the beginning from carbide create. I was trying to add the v bits but not sure because the program don’t have the diameter of the v. It that important? The v on the IDC bits are the same as the shaft diameter. Can someone help me please?

Here’s their tool data base that you can download and import into your cam/cad software. This will put in all of the settings you need.

While not exactly answering your specific question, Garrett just put out a video this morning discussing the use of a round over bit. It may help you understand how to add different bits to the Data Base.

Unfortunately, roundover bits are not supported as such in Carbide Create in the current version.
