He may even pop in on this thread to chime in as well-

Thanks Brett - 

Sam, he's a beauty, if he had a mask, he could pass for a 'coon!

I think that will look great when it's completed, nice idea.

I'm also allergic to cats as well but I love how cocky and independant they are. Their attitude just screams of "get bent"! 

Mine passed on a couple of years ago and I still miss him.......I think he's still here sometimes.......he's a good dude.....

Hi zeeschuim,

I did see at least one thing that may be upsetting the toolpath in your dxf.

Please see the screenshot below at the end of the ball.

While I'm not a pro, this does not look like it would set up right in Lturn.

Hi zeeschuim,

When showing the "strange" things, possibly give your tool info and procedure as that would help us to know what's causing the strange occurances or at least it gives Art some food for thought 

Thanks!

Hi Brian,

I gave you a possible fix over on the TOC, let us know if it helps, ok?

Thanks-

TP, (Terry is it?)

I would like to say thank you for all your macros that you've generously given to everyone.

I personally know pretty much nothing when it comes to macros but I will definitely play with them and see how they work and how they are used and hopefully learn from them as well.

Thank you sir - 
Dave

Hi Dave,
  I see in your examples also that the right end or face is not cut in the finish pass either.
Select the "Finish/Rough Cut" alone in the tree and you will see what I mean.
Thanks,
Russ

Hi Chip,

Thanks for looking. Wouldn't that happen because of the shape of the diamond tool tip, or am I missing something else?

Thanks,
Dave

Hi guys, just some info for you. First just want to say that you to Art for the update as I'm having a blast playing with it a bit. A nice break from all the work lately..

Ok, I have some good success but one issue that may actually be my fault but wanted to show it anyway, just in case. I get the same undercut (like RC) when it is in fact not drawn that way. It happens on my finish cut only. I tried making the diameter larger as Chip suggested but I still get the undercut as well.

Thanks,
Dave

EDIT: Not sure why my preview of the "undercut" pic isn't showing but it will open when clicked on...
