    CamBam - Square Cutting Tool for lathe?

    We have set up the path, set all the parameters etc, but for some reason, it is asking for a diameter for the tool. We are using a 2mm square tool for the cutting, but it assumes the tool is round, thus leaves a 1mm gap around everything.

    How do we change the tool to be a simple 2mm square tool?

    Bump?

    It seems like the software assumes that there is an overhead round cutting tool, and doesn't seem to take into account cutting from the side using a flat square tool.
