I am taking a CNC course. The latest project uses a Bowl and Tray Bit. I can’t find any references to this bit in MillMage. Anyone have any ideas where I can find the info needed to set this up in MillMage. I need to know the Tool Category and the Tool Properties.
When you need to set up a new tool, what source do you use for the tool details?
TIA

Thanks Oz. Appreciate the clarification.
