MC lathe and custom tool question

Recommended Posts

I am taking over programming our Haas SL10 lathe for our regular guy who is out sick. I am working on a small plastic part with a through hole with a tapered entrance. I want to cut the taper with a Harvey boring bar, http://www.harveytool.com/ToolTechInfo.aspx?ToolNumber=29210 . 

I can't seem to design a tool to work so I tried using a small boring bar, but obviously the tip geometry isn't the same. I have no idea on how to get this to work so any help would be appreciated. I attached my working file, and sorry, but it was done in MC4SW.

Thanks, LeoC

Thank you very much David. I can make that work. When things calm down a little here since we are short handed, I'll spend more time on this to get more familiar on how it works. Creating custom tools for the mill package is a breeze for me, the lathe, not so much.

Merci beaucoup David
