35 degree diamond tool in LazyTurn. I haven't seen such a shape in the 1/4 in holder size
Can't be of much help on that statement other than grind your owne or check vendor sites to see what's available.
Even a 35 degree will not get into the very tight corners and you need a point tool with a radius on one or both sides such that it won't gouge the work. One should take into consideration the type of tooling to be used when designing a profile.
You can't select sections of a profile and the only way around that restriction is to use different dxf's files. Higher end programs will let you select the start and end points along a profile. Lt never went that far in development and thus it is what it is for the price.
I can't comment on some of your questions as i need to see some pic's.
I would suggest you play with the rough and fine pass settings to get a handle on the pathing. The manual covers pathing.
Both LazyCam's SIM and LazyTurn insist on facing off the stock
No comment on LazyCam Lathe and strongly suggest you use LazyTurn.
LazyTurn insist on facing off the stock all the way to the center regardless of whether the spigots are shown or
not.
Note the attached pic and first few lines of the code below as it does not face it off to the center and starts on the outside of the profile with the spigots removed.
