Hi @Steve1

Your part (not the cutter) has lots of naked edges. Rhino can’t boolean through the naked areas, as there is nothing there to cut. Fix it or use split instead (remember to ungroup before or after splitting, so that you can actually delete the split parts).

Hi,
Thanks, after splitting its a bit of a dogs breakfast to seal up so I will simplify it and hollow cylinder it and boolean that instead.
