Corner Chamfer End Mill Roughing / Adaptive

Corner Chamfer End Mill Roughing / Adaptive

Could you guys add Corner Chamfer End mills as a tool type?  We have a part that uses a tool similar to this one: https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/04490561

 

I have the tool modeled as a "Form Mill" which works fine for the contour finish passes but I would like to save some cycle time and use it to rough as well. So either a form mill needs to be able to be selected for adaptive/pocket/face toolpaths or a separate tool category would be nice. 

Thanks

Why not just use chamfer mill?

Describe the end of your tool and adaptive away..

Good call, I was frustrated yesterday and had the blinders on I guess. 

 

I tested it out this morning, one can indeed use an adaptive toolpath with a chamfer  mill that matches the tool I'm trying to use. However the toolpath is not particularly useful.  I'll have to check a few more settings.1/2 Chamfer Mill adaptive path1/2 Chamfer Mill adaptive pathPlain old 1/2 EM adaptive pathPlain old 1/2 EM adaptive pathChamfer Mill SetupChamfer Mill Setup
