I would suggest that this probably isn't the best way to work. It is typically rather more flexible to start with a sketch then extrude it (for milling) or revolve it (for turning). The vast majority of lathe parts can be designed from a single dimensioned sketch revolved about an axis. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
