Apologies Gerry, you appear to be right, that is a major problem and needs to be corrected.

The repercussions of it are huge. For one it meens that any form of subroutine using external D command are out.

I think this needs pointing out to Art and Brian.

I don't get it, it works fine here.

Tool 1 offset are set to :-

dia = .125
length =0
wear dia = 0
wear len =0

Here is the mach path and the code I used to do it.

The tool post overall height is not important, the height of the cutting tip is, as long as the cutting tip is on the center of the spindle all will be ok.

If the tool is above centre it will rub the work and not cut.

If the tool is below it will cut but when you go from a small diameter to a larger one the size will be wrong.

I don't have one of these machines but what do you need to know about the machine. We may be able to help anyway.

Hi Salty72,

sorry could not get back sooner, I had a busy one yesterday.

Try this new and improved version (sounds like washing powder ad).

Having looked closer at your code the profile is dodgy, see picture
