Hello, I purchased this set of V-Bits on Amazon, and I’m not quite sure about the cutting parameters that I need to populate into the tool database for Vectric Aspire, I show a sample of a 60 degree V-Bit settings. The only details that they offer is the one I show in the photo below. Is there a default or best guess settings that I can use with these bits? If anyone knows what the best approach for me would be here, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks JENN [4 Pack V-Bits 15, 20, 60, 90 Degree](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089FBT69S?tag=benmyers-20) ![V Carve Bits](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/2X/b/b92ae371833e7821851ff79785b9278d05fa4302.jpeg) ![V-Bit Toolpaths](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/2X/4/4ff307378a221227297332360fdd8ba12c4fe969.png) ---

I don’t have any of the Vetric products yet but one suggestion if it follows the tool libraries for other products - you might need to create the 15 degree tool as a engraving tool with a flat bottom - you’ll need to measure the flat tip diameter. For the setting on pass depth, step over, feed rate, plunge rate - I’d reference the Amana values for similar tools as a starting point - perhaps dial them back a bit and make some test cuts and adjust from there. ---

Derek, makes perfect sense… That’s one parameter that the v-bits don’t give (the tip diameter), nevertheless, your suggestion is a good one, thanks again! JENN ---

Why would you need the tip diameter? You look like your good to go with what you have. I think Vectric considers it a point and not a diameter. ---

the 15 degree bit in that photo seems to have a flat tip, not a point. ---

The 15 degree, It’s actually the only one that has a flat tip. At first I thought it arrived broke, but no. That’s the way it is. JENN ---

They refer to these as V-Bits, I wonder if they are actually engraving bits, to be used with the Engraving Toolpaths? JENN
