The way they did the 3rd option Gcode was use a standard lathe CAM and draw the 2 paths on different layers and post them as 2 passes. then he loads the Gcode in Excell takes the second toolpass and copies the profile axis column to a new column and moves it down to match the same offset amount as the 2 tools are offset. He said that a precise match up with both profiles is not essential as you are taking a rather large cut each time. Just get it close.
He also said the Cam manf wanted a small fortune to do a special post so this is what they use now.
The machines with auto loader run 24/7 only stopping for tool changes or breaks down.

Yep! I didn't like it and plan to make another one.
