Would be helpful if I could do this in VCrave, but if not an example in pure G Code would do.
    Hi there.
    I know this is months ago, but.
    If it is any help you can cut, straight, convex and concave tapered holes with the software CAMBAM (£97) and its free to download a trial that allows you to use it 40 times with no limits.
    You select the hole you want to cut in the viewer and select profile operation. In the properties section of this operation you just created, set for inside profile, and then set the options for side profile shape (straight, convex, etc) and the angle in degrees (I think it is degrees). CAMBAM will then calculate the path based on the cutter details you have selected.Click image for larger version.  Name: 2020-12-17.png  Views: 627  Size: 1.65 MB  ID: 29265
