Hello all. I have a licensed copy of mach 3 with the wizards ad on. Im trying to generate a rectangular pocket with a round bottom. So, I want a pocket .7" wide, by 6.7" long, and .3" deep with a progressive step inward as the depth increases. Reason for this is I am still trying to machine the pocket in the bed of my g0704 mill to clear the ball screw. The ball nut pocket is finished, but I need additional clearance for the screw itself.

Is it possible to do this using any of the standard wizards? If not, then what is the command sequence to make this happen?

I think its an easy solution, I just dont have experience with this so, its not coming to me. I think its a matter of a canned cycle to make a rectangular pocket with consistent x offset with each z depth increase.

Can you guys help me out? Thanks!
