Thanks Geof,
Good information timing, I was going to do these blocks tonight.
Never thought about the reversal using the G84, only have used reamers on my manual mill.
Just looked at the toolpaths, I already had changed to a G83 but not for the reason you brought up, thanks again for spotting this error.
