I produced the attached drawing using QT2DD (I zipped it because the forums won't accept .lcmfiles)
I then used the CAM Wizard to generate GCode in an .fnl file which is also attatched.
When I simulate running the code using QT2DD the internal turning tool makes a massive cut which would undoubtedly stall or damage a real machine.
The machine tooling and machine materials setting check out OK.

Re: QT2DD Making massive cuts when machining internal arcs.
Hi Max. Thanks for this. I'm currently investigating. If the slight convex arc is set to be a line or a concave arc, the plans seem to be correct. It is internal convex arcs that are not being converted into step moves first.
