how to properly put in specs for 10 degree v bit?

Post by windfeldt »

I have 10 degree angle v bits, and other than putting in 10 degrees for angle do I input anything else ? Sorry not real slick at this stuff.

Hi,

You can make a copy of a similar bit that’s already listed in your tool database, then just modify the specs to match your new bit entry.

I have 10 degree angle v bit
Does it come to a sharp point, or does is have a small flat or rounded area on the tip? If it is the latter, then enter it as an engraving bit.
