What setting for 45 degree bit?

In Estlcam - for the angle of a 45 degree bit - is the angle just 45? Dumb question but there are one or two brain cells in the back of my head telling me that I saw some video where it should be something different..

Depends on which angle the manufacturer gives you. For those 45, 60 etc. it’s mostly both sides together, with those small ballnose inlay ones they tell you 5.2, but that’s only one side so in Estlcam you set 10.4. It should be in the endmills docs though which value they mean.

That should just be 45°.
