    Default Need help with creating a tool path - milling

    Hi all,

    FYI, its been a while since I used my software and my V25 is awaiting transfer to another computer so I'm limited to my V23 (not that it would matter because I'm out of practice). I am trying to draw what looks like a candy cane in order for me to slot this path. Originally, I only needed a line drawing as I was slotting full width (.108") at a depth of .55". As the slot was not clean enough doing it in one pass, I'm now going to run a .100" em and climb mill the entire slot.
    My question is, how do I widen my line to create a slot I can then climb mill around or is there some kind of offset that will allow me to run on one side of the line and then back on the other to get my width while climb cutting?

    Any help is much appreciated!

    Steven
