newbie tool qustion
I was working on cutting out a monogram and noticed if I used a 3mm end mill it previewed like I wanted it to. Will all the tools listed on the list you choose from work on the handibot with the current collet? Thanks, Robin

Depends on the shank size of the bit you're using and what size collet you have fitted. The software doesn't know anything about the size of the collet and doesn't need to. That's purely a mechanical problem.

We were all there once. It's a steep learning curve but a fun one as you say.
