Maybe I'm doing something wrong, so I would appreciate a little help.

In trying to define a button endmill/toroidal endmill in the tooltable (Sprutcam 7), I go to 'Torus Endmill', I put the diameter of the cut width - in this case 10mm - then input the radius of the button insert - which in this case is 5mm - and Sprutcam doesn't like it. The number for the radius goes red to highlight a problem, and then Sprutcam tries to correct it to zero radius if I try and add the tool.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here? Pics of tooltable and cutter below.

Thanks

If those inserts are 5mm radius then your fingers must be HUGE! Are you sure they're not 5mm diameter???

I think that calls for an Oops! Now where is the red face icon for me...............

And thank you btw, they are of course 5 dia/2.5 rad. My excuse is I've only been working in metric all my life.
