Yup, I'm up to speed on manipulating the shape of the tool in the tool table and tool orientation. You answered my question well. Thank you!

Maybe we can put this on the wish list someday to improve user capability to achieve more complex tool shapes, but it's certainly not a high priority.
Also, on a different but related topic....I assume this is Chris. If so, did you get a chance to read my question concerning cone/tool scaling from a day or two ago (link is below)? Per one of your posts, you did some programing work on this and uploaded the upgrade to buildbot. I found that the cone/tool scaling works at AXIS startup but doesn't hold through a tool change. ...any thoughts on this? Thx.
