Conical shape does not support common V bit #314

Closed minimum99 closed 4 years ago

minimum99 commented 4 years ago

A typical V-bit, as shown below, has cutting surfaces extended beyond the V shape. If Conical shape in Camotics is chosen to represent this tool, the 3D simulation does not accurately render the result. Can we add support for this type of V-Bit, which is commonly used in V carving?

This is a known issue and is documented in #45. The tool above could be compsed of a cyilder and a cone. It's on the list of things to do. I'm closing this as a duplicate.
