V-Carve has a good sense of what a V-Groove Bit is when you choose Engrave options and see "V-Bits" as a tool type.
In Autodesk Fusion 360 it isn't so clear. In the CAM space when I choose 2D, Engrave I get asked for a tool type. I had originally defined my Whiteside V-Groove Bit #1500 (http://www.amazon.com/Whiteside-Router-Bits-1500-90-Degree/dp/B000KEK0Z6) as a Counter Sink, but when I choose an engrave path using it I get a tool error. I'm going to redefine the tool as a Chamfer Mill to get around the error message, but I don't get the sense that a V-Groove Bit for Engraving is really a Chamfer Mill tool.
Has anyone done engraving using Fusion 360 figured out how to define and use V-Groove Bits?
thanks,
Stephen
