Conical tools have flat tips #421

Closed pstemari closed 4 months ago

pstemari commented 4 months ago

Sometimes round, but usually flat. The difference is really important when doing fine variable-depth engraving (v-engraving). The diameter of the tip directly adds to the width of any lines engraved.

See https://github.com/pstemari/v-engrave-plugin for some examples.

Conical tools with flat tips are already possible. Create a cylindrical tool but with a small bottom radius.
