Form Tool Created with a Curve
Hi guys, long time no type. I have just had a need to create a form tool once again, using a curve, and have had a weird result. I created the curve, starting point X0Y0Z0, profile in the XZ axis, ending on the Z axis, as usual. When checking the toolpath I can see the tool fine, .400 diameter at the small end, with a form radius up to the shank, but during simulation, the tool comes to a fine point, sharp, and doesn't reflect cutting the stock as it should. What am I missing here? I'll try to attach some pics to better illustrate my situation. Lower pic reflects wireframe toolpath, also included in the view is the curve used.

From Simulation...
Wireframe, looks good.
