Adjust thickness of Custom Lathe Tool

[Tinger]

Hi All,

I've just created a custom 2d lathe tool, but verify shows a collision on the backside. How do I adjust the relief/thickness of this tool for the simulation?

Download a model from a tool supplier and build a 3D tool

Make the tool into a solid and give it the relief it needs. All lathe tools in Mastercam can be easily converted into a wireframe through the lathe tool manger. Then from that wireframe make the solid. Now make a 3D tool from the solid and have the 2D shape still just a 3D model that matches what is on the machine.
