    Custom tool profile in MADCAM ?

    Folks: Is it possible to set up a custom tool profile in MADCAM ? I can not find an answer in any of the MADCAM posts. Thanks

    Not what I know unfortunately. I know there are ball cutters simulated for making undercuts and curved tubes (engine intake) but not sure how it is implemented in the code though.

    It turns out it is a ball cutter that I need to use in MADCAM. I need to cut the interior profile in some boxes and need to make an undercut. Perhaps I can "trick" the program somehow if I can find the proper deep "spherical" router bit.

    Thanks
