Nope. Not even at work.

EDIT: Had a thought over the weekend. (It happens occasionally. ) Tried viewing your file on my old computer at work. No problem. Realized I probably didn't have the proper program loaded on the new one yet.

Don't know the quantity of parts, but would it be to your advantage to get a roughing tool made for the various angles instead of roughing with a tiny boring bar?

Thanks, Mike, for posting a view of the drawing. I've never tried doing that yet. Pretty sure I don't know how. I'm not the swiftest sloth when it comes to computers.

Hi guys,

I had no problem at all opening the TEST.DWG file in in Autocad.

That's it, a rough sketch.Instead of giving an angle wouldn't it be easier to give the z depth intersection (angle and bore)? Hey I'm new at this but it seems some how I can create a canned cycle by inserting the opening at the face which is Z0 and the intersection of the bore and angle(which is what the prints give me anyways.Then all I would need is D=depth of cut F=feedrate Somewhere I would have to insert XandZ co-ordinates for large opening of cone and Xand Z for small opening.......Just thinking...Maybe that's my 1st Mistake..................lol
