Create custom solid carbide ID thread bar

I have a part that I need to use a "micro" single point solid carbide thread bar. I've been trying to create a custom tool but I'm not having much luck. The dxf file I've included is a 1:1 drawing of the thread bar I need to use. Any help would be hugely appreciated.

You need to have the sketch positioned as in the image below with the bottom right corner on the Origin of your Document, the Tool is created by revolving around the Y axis, the position in the first image produces the tool as shown in the second image, if this is what you need then have a look at the attached file and try the same ting on your own original file.

Hope this helps a little, form mills are a little unusual 🙂 🙂 🙂

thanks for the help @engineguy, but what I'm really after is an ID thread bar for turning. The tool that I purchased is a solid carbide bar and the dxf represents the shape of the entire bar.

There is no direct way to define solid carbide bars like Micro 100, it's combination of scaled down standard or custom insert and shank, considering required clearance for bore size in question.
