    Multi Tool Head

    The Multi Tool Head is made to hold any number of tool blocks, which can be easily configured and adjusted.
    You can build fully custom Multi Tool Head.

    To add it you need to create a project with a milling machine.

    Attach a mounting point to the rear of the Multi Tool Head and identify its moving components.

    Next, create a mounting point on the milling machine and slightly customize Workpiece settings.
