Lathe Tools
« on: September 07, 2025, 02:36:23 am »
 I designed a poly groove pulley that has a similar profile to a 60* threading tool.  Is there a way to setup a lathe tool profile same as a threading tool?
Thanks

Hello

No unfortunately there is no way to define a tool profile for the lathe.

Apart from the tool radius, there is no mechanism to define a lathe tool shape. The part should be drawn to allow for the cutter size and shape.
