Making "Automatic radial-retract" C'Sink Tool in Vericut

Hello,

I cannot find some nice expression.. "Automatic radial-retract" C'Sink Tool
Our company recently adopted very special tool that can automatically self-transform by spindle speed.

It is counter sinking tool with one blade,
The blade is hidden when spindle speed is low but if rotated over such speed,
the hidden blade is extended and does machining.

(the tool provider is HEULE and name is "SOLO" countersinking tool)

with vericut, the stock is always overcut by the tool on low-speed approaching path.
Is there any nice trick to make / mimic this tool behavior?

Take a look in the samples folder for an example called back_boring.vcproject, this does exactly what you want.

In summary you have to define 2 cutting edges, 1 extended ( normal cutting position ) and 1 retracted and define the extended cutter as an Alternate.

Have a good look at the sample, let me know if you have any questions
