Chip,

Anyway i would like to know why when i create the g-code the tools settings i put don't change the code, it's like they don't get read.

Can you tell me how can i set up my tool?

thanks

Saumur,
What did you draw the profile with ?  I have old cad and cannot open your dwg and your dxf will not work here.
I made a rough profile similar to yours and Lcam seems to do well with it here.
Is this similar to what it should look like ?
Maybe send your dwg file.

Hi, RC & Saumur

I had the same problem with the dxf, It loaded weard.

Hears the dxf loaded in rino then bobcad, I think this is correct.

Hope this Helps, Chip

Hey Chip,
This is what your tap looks like on mine.
Can you put the vertical line for the stock size on the Z+ end and resend the dxf ?
Thanks

much MUCH better, I forgot that I went back to dia mode.
The toolpath reduces to very light cuts in the saddle area. Looks like they go to the finish cut increment.
Thanks Chip,
