    Vectric Aspire Tool Info

    I just ordered some 30 degree bits from Amana


    Are these considered engraving tools instead of V-bits?

    Thanks
    Stefon

    I don't have Aspire here to look, but I don't think there's any difference, as they are both setup exactly the same?

    Some engravers in Aspire may have a flat bottom as opposed to the V-bit which will have a sharp pointed bottom. If youre Amana bit has a flat bottom, use the engraver tool bit in Aspire. If it is a sharp point, use the V-bit tool.


    This typically is a engraver with the flat bottom.
