3D machinist tool bits

Post by martin54 »

I realise that 3D machinist is a free program & have used it on a couple of occasions when purchasing 3D models to use with v=carve, is there anyway to add additional tooling to the tool data base such as v bits or engraving bits or is it limited to just standard endmills & ball nose tools.

Hi Martin,

VA3D Machinist only supports Ball Nose and End Mill Tools.

Thanks,
James
