    Milling flats on the side of round stock

    I've got a round part that was turned on a lathe and am trying to figure out how to use SprutCAM to generate a toolpath to mill two flats vertically on opposing sides of the part.

    The best I've come up with is a 2D contouring operation which is attached as a zip of the STC file but it also side mills around the periphery of the part.

    The jpeg shows the flats to which I'd like to limit the milling operation, but I can't figure out a way to do it.

    Can anybody suggest a solution?

    Thanks, Mike
