    Lathe Toolpath Left Tool

    Hi again, I'm interested is there a way to create a toolpath with this form (see attached image) with this tool? I've tried rough, finish but with no success. Maybe I should use different kind of toolpath, or tool?

    Look at your plunge cut parameters. There is a spot in both the rough and finish tool paths to adjust this. I believe no plunge is the default.

    Yes, you're right. Thanks a lot. I thought I checked the plunge parameters, but now when I looked closer the plunge parameters tab I've realised that the first option is no plunge, second is plunge in both X and Z, third is plunge along X only (this is what I used), and fourth is plunge along Z only. Thanks again

    No Problem.. I had the same issue about six months ago. I worked on it for 2.5 hrs and finally called my reseller and they figured it out in 2 minues!!!
