4th Axis post probs

Hi gang,

 

I am trying to mill an involute gear on my 4 Axis Mach3 equipped mill. 

 

I have the gear drawn

Made a form tool

used a 2D contour to get first tooth

used path in a circular pattern.

 

Now the problem.

Every time the A axis is indexed the Z axis adds 0.060 plus thou to the height.

I've tried every search, combination of settings, etc etc.

 

I'll attach my model and the posted Gcode.

 

Please help.
