Face Mill will Angled inserts

[mattdlr89]

I am new to Fusion. I am trying to define my tools in the tool library. We have a 100mm face mill with "octagon inserts. So they have a 45 degree leading edge rather than a corner radius. I can't see anyway to define a tool like this in Fusion.
For the meantime I've modelled it as a giant chamfer mill but you get annoying warnings come up when you try to do a face milling operation. Luckily it seems to output the correct toolpath.

Any suggestions on how I can either define the tool properly as a face mill or turn off the incorrect tool warning?

My tool library doesn't look like that. Do I need to go and turn on the preview of the new tool library? Think I remember reading a redesign was coming soon.

The old tool library still has that option, middle left corner below the word Geometry

Ah I had some complete blank by not noticing it there! Thanks for the help.

Hi Seth,

Is there a reason why my face mill model does not take on the same shape as your sample with the same values?

My mistake, I forgot to include the "Shaft" definition as well. See attached photo

That did it!

Thanks a lot Seth!

I can see how this solution might work for simple facing operations, but we also use these types of cutter for roughing contouring work. If we use the suggested solution the test run simulation stops as it detects a collision with the shaft. I am missing something or can Fusion 360 really not enable users to use face mills with a corner chamfer for contour operations ?
