Can you Copy and Paste your program here on the Forum? It will help in seeing what you want to do.

What Machine Tool and Control are you using, Fanuc?

Watching Sorin's video may help.

Which ever is easiest for you.

I put the to the gcode and the cad file from bobcad i had to put .dxf so i can up load it just delete the .dxf at the end of the file

in the cad file i did a 0.050 ruffing cut then i moved the tool path up 0.030
and i used the drawing as the finish cut it dont work that good but it works
and i dont think it is the right way to do it


Thanks

First thing first, on a Lathe all your X Coordinates should be Positive unless your machine is set up to machine in X-(minus).

Second, what is the Largest Diameter supposed to be?

Third, what Canned Cycles does this Control Support? G70-G76

Forth, this is not your average run off the Lathe part LOL, so what type of Tool Holders do you have, CNMG's, DNMG's, and a VNMG Profiling Tool?

This is need to know information for this type of part.
