I can’t find this answer for Carbide Create - is there a way to enter V Bits with a flat tip into the Carbide Create database? I have a 45 degree bit with a slight flat tip and I love using them when I hand carve, but I’m not sure if it makes a difference that it has a flat tip when I Vcarve letters.
This endmill geometry is not supported in Carbide Create.
You could enter it as if there was no tip, and either use feeler gauges when setting zero, or fake out the program w/ an angle which would match what would be in effect if there were no flat tip, but the cut will be distorted and won’t match the preview.
