[QUOTE="CoolHandLuke, post: 264343, member: 4850"] in what world do our mills not have square end tools? and in what world would the cam software behind it NOT allow you the ability to edit the tool geometry? cutting a keyway is a simple matter. designing a keyway is not even close to a simple matter for a person who has little experience with that function within the cad software. making a keyway work long term is even more of a feat. you really should make it out of metal, and given the propensity to work with milled metal copings, this seldom happens as more doctors and labs go to zirconia. you should have a radiused or flat end end mill to make flats that need to lap together. ball end tools work better for profiles so they are commonly used in milling non-straight edges. now to the juicy question of 'how do i integrate that in my cam?' to which i must reply 'you should consult not merely your support, but your shuppourt should be fluent in the mechanics of machinistry and not simply be a rep' remember: reps just want you to buy supplies (LIKE MILLING TOOLS AND PUCKS) so they will set your machine to cut all materials poorly.
