Is fusion able to use a tangent style barrel endmill or segmented circle endmills (same thing)?
I want to perform some contours/swarf cuts utilizing more tool tilt angles to keep more “flute engaged with the workpiece”?
I’m having a hard time both “editing” and “creating” tools to resemble my tool.
Do I have to model the tool and then import that some how?
I dont want a “form” tool I need to use more drastic lean/lag to get into a few corners with out rubbing the against the wall/rib it joins.
Is FUSION 360 able to program this style tooling?

Interesting questions, I have read a few articles about Barrel cutters (or segmented circle endmill) for mold making. So to maybe help you visualize how you can create custom shapes in Fusion, here are a few screenshots. I would be glad to try and create one to your form.

I have book marked a topic in the AutoDesk forum seeking the same question you have posed… Hopefully they will provide a definitive answer.
It appears it is on AutoDesk’s idea station, but not yet supported. I believe the HyperMill software will support the 5-axis solution using barrel cutters.

I use Openmind software at work.
I was just curious if fusion supported the segmented circle endmills.
