First time messing with BCC Lathe functions and I'm not having fun.
I'm getting toolpath to work but the numbers are off. I am not sure where to place my contour.
The boss always does the lathe programming and setup, so I am clueless on that.
I watched the training vids and we are still stuck.
Using a R.016 tool
Part needs 63 finish
Lathe is Hardinge with a Fanuc OT.
BobCAD V 21.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

is this what you need?

This looks good. I will have to wait until Monday to see.
The problem I had was that I did not have Y=Y*2 set.
I will let you know.

Thanks.
