Example: The cut is "flipped" so I am going around the outside of what I cut. The 3/8" bit is 1/4" larger (1/8" from center) than the 1/8" bit. Can you put a -1/8" value into the inset to move the cut path further out to allow for the larger bit?
I have a feeling that the 3/8" bit is too big to do this. But I am looking at a carbide upcuter that is 1/4". I'm hoping the motor will have enough muscle to run this bit.
