Hi, Art & Brian

LC is working nice:

Origin Mouse move is working hear just fine now, No Crashes So-Fare !.

Hears a couple of little Issue, Just to keep you from getting Board.

Ruffing Cut to Long.

Right Arc differs from Left Arc, The last picture. is correct Now.

Going to be Au-Some, Thanks, Chip

Hi, Wnevels

It's your tool spec's/cutter that limits the cut path, You'll need a tool change to get in there.

It would require a different tool and a different layer to cut it, left or right with a appropriate back angle setting than what your using now.

Post your DXF file, You can cut it out as it is then create a second file to do the curve cut with a different tool.

Don't think LC lathe is to that point rite now.

Hope this Helps, Chip

Chip thanks for the reply.  I'd tried everything i could think of just looking for a confirmation that it was time to start coding by hand.
Now i'm off to play will Lcam mill and offsets.
