You need to add your tool radius to the finish Z and radius you are cutting.
Basically you have to program to the tangent points of the tool radius.
X-.03
G2 X.211 Z-.1205 R.1205
I'm not going to point out the G2 for the OD---oops.
R
He is turning from Z0 to Z.1205 (positive) so G2 is correct.
Nope, sorry. G2 is a clockwise arc.
R
EDIT> I can see clearly now the rain is gone. Unless he's using a sub, or the programming is all wonky, it's redundant anyway. Besides first time poster, probably won't respond anyway.
Tell me about it... The Mori SL2 that I am trying to get used to use Negative X values. So 50mm is X-50.0Depends on the machine type, right? My Citizen M and L machines are always Z+ for forward turning (main or sub, using tooling on the turret, gang slide, or back post) and G2 would swing the correct direction for turning a spherical OD feature. I was assuming he knew his machine. But, maybe he doesn't and that's his problem. I suppose no one is right or wrong without more information.
