For a full quadrant rad... or 45° chamfer
X change is double the Z change
your endpoint in X needs to be 0.080 smaller.... X0.547
So I'm programming a lathe here, and my radius didn't come out as expected. This is going to be done with a boring bar, with internal radius. (Hardinge Elite 8/51 Turret lathe)
This is what I have, I'm trying to get a .039 radius"
The code put a radius in there, but no where to the desired effect. i'm not sure what I am doing wrong though. Any and all help is appreciated.Code:G99 G01 Z0.0 X.627 F.001 G02 X.587 Z-.04 R.04 G01 Z-.339

Superman is correct
i would say as your z starts at 0. that the starting point should be .667 dia. and the ending point is your .587 dia.
Hey superman you are right again one of us is right

here it sounded to me as though the cam software is not set for turning (diametrical )but may be set for milling (just a guess )
with out the knowledge of what the cam software is and how it is being used we won't know

Sorry for the late reply. I am not using Cam Software for the lathe, manual programming. I don't do anything overly sophisticated, yet.
So a .04' would require double the .04' and make it a .08' diam to get full quadrant. Seems a little aggressive on the tool to take all at once though, better make it a canned boring cycle then! Thanks ladies and gents.
