well i figured it out thankfully!  It was a setting in featuremill dealing with the post processing.  I had the minimum  arcs allowed too high.   knew it was something small!  rob

Thanks hood, here's the code!  I took a fanuc turn post and altered it for mach. Im sure its not 100% right but it was working till this groove problem came up. Im not sure if mach thinks the cutter wont fit or whats going on, featuremill seems happy.  Rob

I have featuremill and the part im cutting has a groove in it.  It generates a tool path fine in featuremill but when loaded into mach it doesnt cut the finish passes all the way into to groove.  not sure whats going on, its gotta be some setting im missing.  Any ideas?

first picture is featurecam toolpaths, second is mach.  you can see where mach just skips the groove on finish pass.   Thx Rob
