General Mach Discussion / Re: making parts to size on customer prints

Jimpinder,
Wanted to try out cutter compensation using my mill along with MACH & the SS so here are some screen shots.
The code contours a 1" x 2" rectangle and was generated with an .3" arc entry and exit and .2" dia mill.
I added the G40 & G41 as shown below. The tool paths were drawn onto paper using my tacer pen ( picture attached) while attached to the mill. By just adding a P value after the G41, ie; .001, .050, .1 you will get the different compensations.They are all plotted in attached picture.
