    If you want to interpolate a counter bore superman is right, you can use 2d contour with ramp or circle mill.

    2d contour with ramp: You draw the dia. you want and when you chain it use the ramp option. You can at that time pick you distance per rev or angle.

    circle mill: You can just chose a point for the location and than you tell it the dia. and the ramp you want to use.

    If you're just trying to make a counter bore and you are refering to the tool entry, you could use a pocket toolpath and check the "Entry-Helix" box on the Roughing/Finishing tab, then manipulate the setting to achieve the entry helix you want
