Form Tool Created with a Curve

Hi guys, long time no type.  I have just had a need to create a form tool once again, using a curve, and have had a weird result.  I created the curve, starting point X0Y0Z0, profile in the XZ axis, ending on the Z axis, as usual.  When checking the toolpath I can see the tool fine, .400 diameter at the small end, with a form radius up to the shank, but during simulation, the tool comes to a fine point, sharp, and doesn't reflect cutting the stock as it should.  What am I missing here?  I'll try to attach some pics to better illustrate my situation.  Lower pic reflects wireframe toolpath, also included in the view is the curve used.
