Ok, I can order new tooling yes, I was trying to use what was already ordered by someone else.  I think I was more confused as to why a tapered endmill with a more acute angle wouldn't be able to mill this since there would be clearance, as you'd use a radius tool to do a draft angle.

 

Full disclosure, this is the first time I've used tapered endmills with FC, and I really just assumed there was some setting I was missing.

 

I can get it to work if I do each side independently and just constrain its stock, though that seems like the long way around.  Plus I had to force it to finish decently with z increment, as I think that "Radius tool scallop height" under finish is ignored by the tapered endmill.  I have to do some more testing to see if that holds up.

 

Either way,  I'd still be curious to know the acute angle part of it.

 

Thank you.
