Touch probe control - Endmill diameter

I've designed a simple bit of text to cut out using Carveco. I've specified in Carveco the bit I'll be using as an Amana 45624-K 60 deg v-carve bit from the database and exported the g-code.

Once I'm in Workbee control and I've imported the g-code do I need to specify in the touch probe control section the endmill diameter and if so am I putting the width of the shank, 6.35mm in this case or the width of the cut diameter? Or is this all handled by the Carveco software?

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your message.

With V Carve bits you cannot probe the X/Y so that value does not matter. You can only probe the Z, which does not need that value
