    Programming concave radius on Haas Lathe

    I need to make a concave radius on a Haas Lathe. I am using a .375 Diameter round insert cutter trying to program a .228 concave radius on the OD. I cannot make a true radius.

    What's happen? A lot of factor involve that can make it go wrong. Post Your code and the picutre the part you cut, that will help us help you.
    The best way to learn is trial error.
