I purchased the Amana in-groove system and I would be very appreciative is someone could help me properly setup one of the bits.
I am going to use RC-360 Engraving bit (30 degree) as an example. here are the specs from the amana website.
Tip: .005
tool depth: 5/8
here is a picture of the bit
I assume I would set this up as an engraving bit so what im asking is what values should I user for Diameter, Side anle, and Flat Diameter ?

Re: help with tool setup
I don't own these but posted this guidance a while ago. Didn't get any bad feedback so assume all went well.

For the diameter, try to measure and determine the diameter at the top of the angled cutting edge.

Re: help with tool setup
I followed your instructions for mine, it worked out well.
I printed them out and use them as reference.

Not exactly, your side angle for a 30 degree v bit should be 15 degrees not 30.Wolffie wrote:I followed your instructions for mine, it worked out well.
