Helical groove cutting lathe

Hello!

 

I wonder if fusion360 is able to help me create this toolpath.,

 

Imagine a cylinder part with a "thread" around it with a pitch of 22mm, the groove is 8mm wide and has radius 4.

 

Now this would be a simple task to thread with a 8mm round insert.

 

But instead for better surface and stability i would like to do it with a 3mm round insert.

 

Can fusion generate the G32 code with alternative starting points and X points?

 

Best regards

At this point in time, a thread like this is not possible in Fusion.
