OK so I'm back looking for help.
The Mrs has now suggested that she would like me to make her a square oak block with a bowl carve in to it so she can put her jewellery in at night.
I gave her a breakfast bowl (which she chucked at me.... it missed).
Now I really do not know where to start on this ........
which bit to use.
what tool path to set.
I have tried but all I get is a round hole with flat sides....
Any ideas ......

What CAM software are you using ? can you draw the bowl in CAD and import as a 3D object ?

But if you want it easy I think you need some 2.5D or 3D CAM software, something that can import stl files and generate the gcode. e.g. Cut3DSpelling mistakes are not intentional, I only seem to see them some time after I've posted

I got around stuff like that( before I had CAM software) with a Macro B program but don't know if your machine has full Fanuc capability. If it does let me know and I'll try to help you out with a bit of If and Then code.

I would draw a circle the outside dia. and then cut it with a 'Z Profile' the shape of the bowl cross section using a ball nosed end mill.
