A V bit is just a type of chamfer cutter...

...and F360 appears to allow you to enter a 0mm tip diameter to make it a V-cutter.

I did wonder about the question as the "tool entry" mechanism is pretty straightforward. All is now clear!

If you want amore accurate representation, use a Tapered Mill, and set the tip diameter to 0.0000001.

thank you that does look more like it.

I think they should just add the v bit option to the tool selection.

Would the tapered angle be 30 degrees for a 60 degree bit?
