Trouble programming angle with edge of cutter


Recommended Posts

I am trying to machine part with 1 pass , going from a linear X move  to a X/Z move with a .250 connecting rad. 

Cutter wants to mill from center of cutter as it enters rad. and climbs in z axis, oppose to using edge of cutter w.015 rad. I attached drawing because it is 

difficult to explain in words what I am trying to program. Can any one help with this type of programming if it is even possible with MasterCam.

Thankssample-1.mcam

It's a simple Surface Finish Project toolpath...

There is a dummy contour path that is used to project the desire toolpath...I created and extended surfaces to get the tool on./off the part
