I'm trying to make a cut V-Groove along the length of a shaft but while I can make the V-Groove parallel to the shaft, I can not make it spiral around the shaft. I know it can be done- I've seen it machined before. But I can't, for the life of me, find out how to do it in eMS.

The CAD cannot yet model that but you can use Comments To Machinist.

Download CAD Software

"A friend of mine said that he has tried various CAD programs over the years and none has been sufficiently easy for him the master with the exception of the software from emachineshop.com. He swears by it, and says that for the first time he finds himself going directly to the drawing software rather than pencil and paper."
