help with tool setup

[r3llc]

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 ?

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

See this thread:

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

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.
