How do I setup a backside chamfer mill in tools?

I recently purchased this tool (https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/02702991) and haven't been able to figure out how to set it up and use it in fusion 360.  What type of tool is it considered?  Form tool, chamfer mill, dovetail?  What kind of toolpath should I use? Any help would be much appreciated.

here's how i setup mine, Back chamfering is a little bit of a work around in fusion, I use contour as my toolpath, select that chamfer I want, and then use "bottom hight" to get my tool down to the right hight for the back chamfer, then I use "radial stock to leave" to set my chamfer width. I do not use that chamfer function.

Right or wrong, what I did with help from others here is.....

The tool is set up as a dovetail.

2d countour.

Geometry: if you modeled the chamfer choose the bottom most edge.(bottom edge of chamfer)

Bottom height: is minus the height you want to hit. That gets you down below the hole so the cutter is not right on the edge. example -.020

Passes tab: Stock to leave: example .040

I think that's about it.
