Estlcam bit setup

I have a 1/4" shank bit with a 1/8" cutting diameter. How do I set that up in estlcam?

Can I only use it to its cutting depth of 5/16" or is there a way to set it up to make deeper cuts without the shank interfering? I can’t really find any info on this.

Use the cutting diameter. You won’t be able to cut deeper than the cutting area since it’s going to change shape up to quarter inch.
