What type of machining are you doing? if as your alias suggests you
are mainly into woodwork you might ask the other members if their CAM
systems cater for contour cutters to be fed into the edge of the
stock. I can't speak for the other programmes but the main(only)
strategy in VM is for the tool to be fed downward into the material.
When I queried MecSoft about this their reply said ".... Since we do
not support these type of cutters, you cannot simulate the toolpath.
So, you have to be little bit more careful, since you cannot verify
the toolpath."
For my own interest I would also like to know if any of the other CAM
programmes support these type of cutters.

other CAM program. Basic drawing, stable tool path creation and
