First, I am green on lathe tool paths but I've done my best on this one.
I am running a drill, rough ID profile, Finish ID profile and I when I simulate in wireframe visual I see that the tools clip the edge of a sharp corner.
I believe this could be a radius but it would have to be very small. This looks like it is wiping the whole corner. I've ran using both cutting edge edge and contact point tool limits and a variety of ID/OD configurations.
Also there is a persistent error on the boring tool paths. From what I read there is no fix but most posts were old. Does anyone know of a new post that may help me?

@tgford58 you've set your "z stock to leave" to a negative amount which is what's causing the tool to gouge that corner. Is this intentional? If i set it to a positive amount it does not gouge the corner. As to the warning, it's a safety warning given whenever the tool goes below the Z axis. If you dont want to see this warning you can raise your clearance radius so the tool does not go down to X = 0.
