Im using Lathe Rough with stock rec. I haven't used lathe face much, I'm not facing to center, and I did not see tool inspection in lathe face. Retract is working fine. I'm just pre roughing a part, quicker then drawing chamfers. It does just cut the chamfer at the end.

I discovered a new trick. To quickly chamfer an edge on Lathe rough face or turn, (I was facing), shorten the contour in lead in/out by the desired chamfer amount (.05x45), in add line, set length to .05, angle to 45, leave overlap on but set value to 0, and uncheck equal steps. Sounds like a lot, but it adds a quick chamfer during roughing.

I've had similar issues with rough grooving. Using depth cuts and tool inspection, the tool feeds down to the clearance point of the next depth instead of rapid. I turned in a QC notice, and it was partially fixed in X6. Now, it works if you select the bi-directional cut direction. (And the tool must be able to move) I use the stock for outer boundry with depth cuts so when the tool positions inside the groove, it will feed over instead of rapid.
