    Question BobCad V25 using Woodruff Key Cutter how to use a BobCad "T-Cutter"

    Hi, I've only used BobCad with ball nose and end mill cutters. Today I'm trying to program for Woodruff key cutter using the Mill 2 Axis / Profile package. I can create the cutter in the tool libraries, but I can only select end mills in the profile package.

    I've used BobCad a very long time but I must have missed something on selecting other tools when needed.

    Can someone give me some information on how to select other tools types in the profile package.

    Basically you can't in that version of BCC unless you have 4th-axis Pro. You have to fake it with funky short and wide "end mills" and smaller diameter tool holders.
