Lathe - How to make a 55 deg tool cut a groove?


Rotary Ninja

Recommended Posts

I have a pretty simple contour that I would like to rough and finish with a 55 deg turning tool. But I can't get Mastercam to create a lathe toolpath that goes into this groove. It just skips across at the major OD and ignores the groove. The only way I have been able to cut this is with a groove tool and a groove toolpath. But I know the DNMG tool will cut it. The area I am trying to cut is the green geometry.

 

Thanks for any help you can give me.
