You can rough cut that whole part with optirough and up cuts and your depth step can be the bottom of the false bottom So full depth cuts untill the profile is done, then the tool will go up to the chamfer and rough from the bottom up using the up cut step You pick the whole model, then the outer rectangle as a machining area and cut from outside in. In steep shallow you can set depth limits.

Try this out... go to run a setup sheet (Pre-select the ops you want to generate tool data from then right click in the Toolpath Manger, or choose Setup Sheet in the Machine ribbon bar). On the Setup Sheet options page you can change the reporting template that it uses to generate the data. Double click on the current template (see screenshot) and then choose the "Tool List" item. This will generate a file like the detailed report option mentioned above but only for your selected operations.

Just got a haas lathe it stops dead at the G76 line and will go no further, spindle keeps turning. I'm using the stock X6 haas SL lathe post I dont have any idea what is wrong. The book says it needs a q value with no decimal I have that, it's posting a "0" that is supposed to be the thread start angle. The P value should be an option (single edge cutting) for multi start threads no idea why I get "P010029"? This is what I get when I post it (standard 1/4-20 thread supposed to be 5 passes) G00 T0707 M8 G97 S1500 M3 G00 G54 X.45 Z.4107 G76 P010029 Q0 R0. G76 X.1905 Z-.29 P297 Q117 R0. F.05 M9 G28 U0. W0. M5 T0700 M01 example in the book is G76 X Z K.042 (thread height) D0.0115 ( first pass depth) F.0714 any idea what I should change in the post to get this running?
