    First turning

    Hello,

    I have made a test code to run on my sherline. Its a 1/2" diameter with a taper chamfer rounded etc. After figuring out the basics i ran into this problem. I can't seem to get the tool to start cutting at the end of the stock. I'm not sure where to make the adjustment. I have included a screen shot.

    Thanks for your input.
    Craig

    it looks like it is starting on the left and the lead-in angle looks to be the same as the angle on the missing end. I would have to look at the file but i suspect your tool is defined wrong for what your doing.
