I turned off g41, and the start and end numbers were corrected, but I found other problems with my input. I failed to realize that for this particular cut, that my i and k needed to be negative values. Now it seems to work properly. The predicted path shows straight lines instead of the semi-circle, but it looks like the end points are the key points of the command. With G41/42, I now get concave corner errors, so I think I just need to work on my lead-in path. The negative numbers remind me of trying to find the misplaced comma in my stack of punched cards. Then spending my lunch standing in line to submit my cards to the guy at the computer room door. His username of course was "God".
Thanks for the reply.
