Tool Library Face Mill shows wrong tool!

HSMWORKS Face Mill does not show right tool. It looks more as an shoulder milling cutter.
Look at my foto, that is a REAL face mill in my mind.
I worked around with Tapered Mill but would like to have it right some day.
While I agree with you that it's the most commonly used type of face mill, square(90 degree) mills are also called face-mills(Coromill 490 for example). So in the new library(Which is currently being developed) they should take a good look at how they name type of cutters and how you can shape them.

as Laurens said Face mills come in many different geometry configurations and right now we only support the one.
If the plan is to keep supporting only one. I would say make the switch to the angled one.

The plan as I know it is to give the ability to download and use the tool maker’s cutters. From that I take it that we will be supporting many different types of cutter geometry.
In all operations?
