I'm programming a profile path for a four sided piece that will be cut out on our cnc lathe and its stepping over the last couple passes for reasons unknown to me. I copied the the linework into a new file and generated the tool path again with the same results.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kyle

Re: Random Profile Stepover
We looked at the file it shows the shank diameter is set smaller than your tool diameter. Edit the tool definition and set shank diameter = tool diameter and regenerate the profile toolpath. This would maintain the same offset for all cut levels.
