Wireframe Ribbon. Create line then use Auto Cursor from Origin and draw a Vertical and Horizontal line. Then X from Ribbon Offset. Start Offsetting the distances. Then Wireframe Ribbon again connect the lines where needed at each intersection. Many ways to make the arc tangent to the arc on the end. I would draw the intersection and the draw the line from that intersection and auto cursor will snap it tangent and done. The fillets use Wireframe/Modify Fillets. On the 10.0394 Double offset line on the end draw the center line at 14.5869 line and then use offset both ways to make them both real quick. Took me longer to read the print and go back and forth than to draw Total time took me less that 4 minutes to draw in Mastercam.

Here is the link to the 2021 file done.

I just have to say the guys on this forum are amazing.  I see so many bitter, experienced machinists cautioning younger people to run far away from this trade, but the members of this forum are easily the most helpful people I've ever seen.  I've learned more from this forum than I have from my reseller, or any instructional material anywhere.  THANK YOU!!

What I was saying in my recent interview with CamInstructor. I remember what it was like coming up through the trade. I took a test at one shop making a mold component on a Bridgeport. They had 3/8 slot +/-.001 and I took a 5/16 endmill and dialed off the width on the readout after I roughed the slot and accounted for backlash and everything. The slot still came out +.003 and it was the only thing I had out on print and I was not going to be hired. The shop manager came rippling into me asking why I was so stupid to use the 3/8 endmill to cut the slot and not step it out with the smaller. I told him look at the corners that was exactly what I did and showed him my numbers on the notes where I dialed out the handles to hit the size. He was puzzled and said well okay everything else was spot on and was hired. I was in my 3rd part which was a long mold insert and time I got to the end of the different features the part was off .006. The guys were laughing and said yeah that readout has been messing up for a few months. They set me up to fail and thought they were going to get me fired for messing up the part. I had left extra stock on the outside of the part so I trigged out the difference needed over the 72” long part for each 20” section I could cut and brought the whole thing with in tolerance. I then bought a 3” travel Starrett indicator to use from that point forward. Took 1 year before they fixed that readout, but I didn’t have another issue with a part after that. Why were they being a bunch a babies? I almost didn’t get the job because of this and this was typical in most shops I worked. American Manufacturing is suffering from years of tribal knowledge and peoples pride. The more we help each other the better we all can be. I am glad to help those willing to be helped anwamting to learn. I am still learning and when you think you have arrived in this trade you only one mistake away from being put in your place. 
 

Thank you for learning and being willing to. To many have got a degree and think they have arrived. Sorry you just got started on the journey now will they let pride and arrogance get in the way or are they willing to humble themselves and work with others?

I struggle a bit, just because I'm probably not one of those "made to machine" people.  Sometimes I have to sit and think about things for a little bit longer than someone else might have to, but I do truly enjoy this trade, and I think that makes up for it.  Without guys like the ones on this forum, this career would be a lot tougher.

Umpetion and gumption is what I call what you got and do. Let you in on a secret we all do the same thing. The difference is after almost 35 years of doing this can do it comes quicker is all. Keep asking question and I will do my best to help.
