The Tool page of the SolidCAM HSM operation is similar to the regular Milling operation Tool page with the following additional options

SolidCAM now supports STL Holders for Tool path calculation.

Calculate minimum tool length

This option enables you to calculate the minimal Outside holder length of the tool to avoid the holder gouging with the model. When you select the check box and click Save & Calculate , SolidCAM calculates the recommended value and displays it in the Minimum tool length field.
