Shouldn't line 10 be CC X16.97?

Sorry that might be a typo but have to wait till am in work monday to check thank you for taking the time to look over it

Hi again,

Line 7 should be X+2.67 (12-9.33) also. However, even with these corrections there must be enough rounding errors to cause a problem, at least on the Heidenhain simulator.
Suggest you use the CR command instead of chasing microns. See picture attached for a simpler version of the program.

Well thank you once again your help is very much appreciated. As i say normally we use our bridgeport as a glorified drill with the use of cycles, i will try to rectify line 7 on the console when am in work tomorrow and see if that works if not i will try out the other programe the drawing looks spot on to what am trying to achieve thank you
