Title: Hole drilling with tool compensation
Post by: tomi on November 29, 2011, 03:46:37 PM

No I'm deep in to the s**t...

I need example how to use tool compensation to drill hole. I have 16 mm diameter tool and I need drill different size holes 18, 20 and 22 mm. I need to use G41 or G42 code to compensate tool because tool size could be change.

You would NOT use G41/42 for drilling holes. THe only tool comp that comes into play with drilling holes would be tool length comp G43.
