Yeah. It’s really unclear what you are looking for. It took me a bit to figure out is was a “slope”. There were also many 1/8-s didn’t add up.

If your slope is going to be as you’ve started with the moulding toolpath then you are going to need to create 30 toolpaths. I stopped after 4:

If what you are looking for is a pseudo beveled pinion gear then you are going to use the “Fluting Toolpath” as I did here:

I just selected the 30 radial lines and used the following parameters:

Exactly what I was looking for, I still not always clear on the fluting verses molding verses chamfer tool.

Thanks
