    Round inserts on the 15L

    I recently bought a holder for round inserts that I intend to put in the turret and use for profiling smooth curves. I tried to set up the round tool in the offsets table and discovered that there are no round inserts shown, moreover, the new profile dialog in Path Pilot 2.0 forces you to define the shape of the insert, and there is no obvious way to designate a round insert. Any suggestions or experiences in using round inserts in the 15L?

    I'm not sure, I'm not at the shop right now but, can you use a parting tool and put the radius on the tool offset table, just a guess.
