custom tools?

[hordur]

First some specs..

 

MasterCam X2MR2

Okuma Multus B400

 

tool in question: Garant 268430 20 A20Q SVJCR 11

 

 

The tool is pretty odd shaped, used as finishing tool on rough surfaces that are hard to reach with normal tools, so the angle of the insert is 93 degrees, the insert is 35 degree diamond.

 

But i fail completely in every way i try this in, i cannot just draw the tool because of a bug in mastercam when i need to rotate the tool to cut the other wall, it rotates around the wrong axis, showing the tool cutting from behind the chuck.

 

I checked this with my local dealer/support-team and they confirm this to be a bug, but now im stuck!

 

So now im trying to find a similar tool and just change the parameters (in order to get the cutting toolpaths right), but i simply cannot find a tool with correct insert angle.

 

what do i do?

 

i _must_ use this tool in order to finish my current job, but i cannot define it well enough to get even semi-decent verify.

meaning i have no idea of what it will do until i post it (and risk crashing my machine)

 

could anyone please help?
