Can I suggest it pre loads the tool library on new project.   Also more tools . :)

Great feedback! I was definitely considering an "auto-fill" button or option under CNC/CAM Settings that would just fill new projects with the first 10 cutters found in the library. Alternatively each tool in the library could just have a toggle for auto-adding to new projects, so that you can have a library of tools but only a few regularly-used ones that you want to be included in a new project by default. Glad to hear confirmation that it's worth pursuing :)

What other tool types are you thinking should be added? Be forewarned: PixelCNC won't be able to do any kind of under-cutters just by the nature of it's core algorithms that everything is built upon - and all the stuff that is built out of them them would need a re-write. This was by design from the outset because it enables fast toolpath generation and CNC simulation by simplifying everything down to just a 2D field of height/depth values that conventional (and some custom-engineered) image-processing algorithms operate on.

So if you have any other cutter geometries in mind that I haven't included, or that can't be achieved with the existing tool types, I'd love to hear about them!

Thanks!
