Rex,
I have been playing around with CamBam and it will generate a convex and concave pathing for the mill on the end of piece.
May want to try it out as it is priced reasonable.

That's cool!
I'm off to download CAMBAM!

Thanx,

Here is a sub routine to do the circle method. Code is by Henrik.

(;-) TP

#1000 = 75  (Diameter)
#1001 = 4   (Degrees per cut)
#1010 = #1001
#1020 = [90 / #1001]
G17
M98 P1234 L#1020  (Call subroutine)
M30

O1234
#1002 = [0-90-#1010]
#1003 = [COS[#1002] * #1000 / 2]  (Calculate radius)
#1004 = [SIN[#1002] * #1000 / 2]  (Calculate Z height)
G1 X[0-#1003] Y0 Z[0-#1004] F250  (Position, remove '0-' to do internal)
G2 X[0-#1003] Y0 I#1003 F500    (Do Arc)
#1010 = [#1010 + #1001]           (Increment counter)
