define a specific tool in the library

Hi guys, I have an order to make a lot of insulation bushings. To make it easier for myself, I bought a tool to deburr the back of the hole. I find it difficult to define the tool in the library. Could you help me?

Maybe with a formtool, not the best way but a way...

I thought of that, but for internal turning, I can't seem to get the right geometry.

Looking at your STEP file, which portion of the tool is doing the cutting? This is likely going to be a case of defining an insert/tool that's "close", but it won't be perfect....

The line you have drawn will do the cutting work. I also thought of defining a straight tool, which, by tweaking, will give the desired result.

Oh, I thought you were using it for milling.
Horn also offers such tools for milling.

Sorry!

No problem, I should have clearly stated that it was for turning.
