    creating a custom tool

    We have a custom tool that is essentially a corner radius end mill with a 10° taper on the lower portion. So it is like a corner radius end mill at the top and a taper mill on the bottom. How can I define this tool in Mastercam, since it doesn't really fit any of the existing patterns?
