check you don't have a "stock to leave" value in the tool set up or the operation data - Peter

Hello

why the software wont generate Toolpath

I don't know, but this work if you set "Max Crossover Distance" to a value around 0.5 instead the 0.7 set by default.

"Max Crossover Distance = 0.5 fixed the problem.

Thank you very much indeed

I'm a bit unclear on what you are doing.

You want a 7mm hole, using a 6mm tool, is that it?

I'd try a pocket MOP, with a flat-end 2 or 3 flute end mill (often called a slot drill because it can go straight in). Enter the true cutter dia, 6mm, with screen geometry of 7mm dia for the hole, and it should work fine. Depth of cut each pass should be not more than the cutter, say 5mm in wood, less in metals.

I'm doing exactly that in wood, but with a 10mm hole, thickness of 20mm, with good results.

Cheers

If it is a round hole better use drill (spiral drill) MOP.
