Tapered bit option
Hi. I have a tapered bit 1/32 in. Ballnose and wanting to use it on pvc. I don't see an option to add it to tool data base. Is there a way around this? Thanks

Re: Tapered bit option
PVC doesn't have an option for tapered bits as the other Vectric programs have these days. In practise it doesn't really matter as PVC type toolpaths only really use a small portion of the tool length so the taper doesn't come into effect. Set it up as a straight 1/32" ballnose and it should be fine.
