    Need some help programming a .750 radius

    Total newbie to Lathe programming, please excuse my ignorance flame away!

    I need to cut a radius in the middle of my tubing roller dies to roll 3/4 tubing, see the attached PDF. I want to know what tool is the best to use, I have a .125 radius grooving tool or should I be using left and a right triangle tools and making 2 seperate programs, cutting one side of the radius at a time. I'm thinking that even if I use a 35 deg triangle there is no way to cut the radius in one program unless it is a neutral hand holder?

    Not sure how to program this either, totally new to this as well as compound cycles. Could someone provide a compound cycle for this?

    Thanks for the help!
