Hi everyone,

Long time lurker, first time poster.

I am new to CNC, so bear with me. I have read a lot of posts regarding the error I'm having, but when it is out of the context of my part I lose understanding of what to do.

Mill: Tormach PCNC 1100 (Mach3)
Cam: Camworks

Problem:
I am receiving "tool radius not less than arc radius" in the message window of Mach3. Here is a photo of my part:

Attachment 259762

I am receiving error when the tool tries to cut the 2D contour (perimeter) path of the part, oriented as in the photo above. When the path is wrapping around the "top" of the crown points (N23), it gives me the error.

Here is my gcode:

What I've tried:
I have tried the following based on advice in other threads:
1.) To test, I changed the tool diameter in the Tormach tool table to .001 to see if it worked in an air cut test. It still gave the error.
2.) I changed the gcode from having a lead-in to a simple z plunge. It still gave the error.

We have limited tooling, so we are using a .5" cutter due to the length of cut we are trying to do.

What is confusing to me is that the path is on the left side of the cut throughout the part. The "crown" points are separated by a .4" radius arc - which should have no problem handling the .5" end mill radius of .25".

If anyone can help explain what the error is here, as well as give any advice as to solutions, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks to this community for answering hundreds of other questions for me!
