General Mach Discussion / Re: Cutter Comp. isn't working

IF you do not set the tool diam in the tool table HOW is MACH going to know how much top offset it.
The process is you set up your tool table to the SAME values that you tell your CAM to use when creating the code. Then IF you need to adjust it you squeek the Tool Diam in the machine tool table to match.
SideNote: IF it already cuts too large then it is too late. You need to know exactly what the tool cuts .Make simple test cuts then apply that comp to the table.
