How would I go about creating a solid boring bar to use in machining to generate code

[a.nekic]

Hello all,

I've been using F360 for many of years now, my question may seem simple but to explain more. I know we have the option to create a custom insert and custom holders for our boring bars, but I've never really successfully done that when using solid boring bars i.e. P.H. Horn. Does anyone know of a good method of creating these because even with the tech docs of the bars, some of the info that F360 asks for I cannot input since I don't have that info. Thanks! (In case anyone wants to try, my bar that I am using is: R105.1813.2.3)

Solid carbide bars are a bit tricky to define. Typically, I'll create something that approximates something close, with the key data being correct. In this example, I've "defined" a Micro-100 Quick Change bar with an R.008 tip:
