    Contouring a face profile using lathe

    Using X2 with an older lathe with only X, Z, and Spindle.
    I need to face contour a profile but the only references I can find are dealing with a "C" axis which always gets me into a mill operation.

    Could someone please give me some guidance for contouring the face of the attached part?

    I plan on using 3 triangle shape tools. Right, Left, and straight.

    Many thanks,

    CEM
