The backplot looks a lot closer to the real thing. If I do my own cutter 
rad comp, then the outline looks wrong on screen.

But I guess one can't have his cake and enjoy eating it too...

I can see why it would bitch if the hole was smaller than the tool, but 
its not. Screw it, move to the +x point of the circle -toolrad, 
directly, then circle at only 20 thou radius  while boreing deeper and 
deeper untill its thru the workpiece, leaving a nice clean hole. When 
done, leaving at that depth for one more full circle just for cleanup. 
then back to the center of the  hole and withdraw the tool. Head for the 
next hole, wash, rinse & repeat.

Thanks Jon.
