    Yeah, you will have to switch to Cartesian (G112) and G17 plane and program it as X and Y. See page 145 of the lathe manual for an example.

    For X and C only, I think it would be something like:

    (You put in the Z position.)
    C0.
    G01 X0.875
    X0.6668 C50.9558
    X0.875 C101.9116

    G0 X1.
    C180.

    Good job. If you do not want the part dropping off in the chip pan, program the cut off to stop at about X0.090 and then you usually can twist and break the part off by hand. I would also recommend...

    I could program a slot in MasterCam to use only 1 line. It all depends on how you want cutting to go and how much control you want over finished size.
