Struggling on how to define chamfer tool in visual mill. What are the minimum fields that need to have values? Can't find any examples in the docs.

I'm trying to add this as a new tool for example - 60 Degree Included Angle Chamfer Cutters

I have the same question for AlibreCAM with respect to defining a 1/16" and 1/8" radius round over tool.
I imagine it ends up being a profile operation with the depth set to the radius?

I never bother to define it. Seems a waste of effort IMO.
I title it a corner round tool but define it as a flatmill the same diameter as the little nose of the tool.
Next I program it to do 2.5d profile of the edge to be rounded. Use a cut depth equal to the horizontal runout of the cutter form.
Done deal - simple.
To tweak the blend on the vertical wall use + or - stock in the profile and for the horizontal surface blending go up or down with cut depth.
I use a similar strategy for chamfering - the cutter wants to follow the region to profile without under cutting it so just use negative stock setting to get the cutter to cut the chamfer.
