Read the programming manual. If you won't read the manual then take a class.

You're not going to get that inside .030 corner radius with a 1/4 diameter end mill if you're using the tool to profile.
Using x and z? You want to profile the radius with a ball end mill?
Do you have any cam software? This is easy program

It is that easy, buy an end mill with a .030 radius and mill that step after the profile. Not really sure what you're after here, are you a student?

Polan14,
I am a bit confused, are you trying to lay the part flat and profile the whole outside, or say in a vise, mill the step, then the radii? If the first, well not gonna happen, .125 radius on the tool cant generate the radius on the "inside" right? if your trying to do the second, you need two tools, one with a .03 corner radius, and one with a .03 corner rounding radius. trying to generate these both with a square end mill can be done, but seriously why would you WANT to?

I trying to do the second part. The part that I'm making is more complicate than the drawing that I posted. My problem is getting the command for the machine to produce the radius that I need, I have no trouble doing radius with the X & Y but using elevations is other thing at least for me.Thank you
You have to change the plane selection to g18 or g19 from g17. then you can program in the other plane for example g2 x.25 z-.25 r.25. the plane selection is in the book or under the shelf then just compensate for the tool radius if you are using a ball mill.
