Help with tapered holes

[Neale]

One of the restrictions of Vcarve is that while it is great for 2D/2.5D CAM. it can't do this 3D kind of thing. Unfortunately, it's not straightforward in gcode either. If you use the G2/G3 arc/circle commands, you can either cut a circle at a single depth, or cut a circle with steadily increasing depth by advancing in Z while cutting the circle with constant radius. No tapers.

I would suggest that you could look at Fusion 360 which has a full CAM capability which would produce this kind of gcode. There is a bit of a learning curve involved (depending on where you are coming from - this could be an understatement!) but it could do what you want and it's free for home and hobby and small commercial users.

May look into that if there is no other option. Cheers.
