Add face to finish profile

[toolingTRI]

This may be a piddly thing but when turning a part, I would like to start the final finish pass just inside the ID, skim the face outward toward the OD, take the finish pass on the profile, all at the same time.  Skimming the entire finish surface, including the corner radii, would allow the part to come off the machine with very little, if any deburring.

Is there a way to accomplish this?

So far, it seems that the facing operation and finish profile operation are separate from one another and cannot be accomplished together.  This is unfortunate.

I am running programs generated in Fusion360, posted to "Prototrak Turning.cps", and ran on a Southwestern Industries 1630RLX Lathe.

Thanks in advance.

@toolingTRI can you attach a file here that shows the issue with profile finishing not machining the face?

Of course.

@toolingTRI the profile finishing operation will machine both the face and the OD if you set your front mode to stock front in the geometry tab.

That was it!!!

Perfect!!

Thanks!!
