    Lathe OD Profile Help

    First time messing with BCC Lathe functions and I'm not having fun.
    I'm getting toolpath to work but the numbers are off. I am not sure where to place my contour.
    The boss always does the lathe programming and setup, so I am clueless on that.
    I watched the training vids and we are still stuck.
    Using a R.016 tool
    Part needs 63 finish
    Lathe is Hardinge with a Fanuc OT.
    BobCAD V 21.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    This looks good. I will have to wait until Monday to see.
    The problem I had was that I did not have Y=Y*2 set.
    I will let you know.

    Thanks.
