Title: H0 AND D0
Post by: josh on March 25, 2012, 10:56:17 PM

how do you use this to in your program and can some please explain what they mean.
how and what does it mean H0 and D0 in you program.
I think H means you tool offset so should I write the tool  number  I am using or shoul I leave at 0?
For D should I put the tool diameter?

H0 & D0 should be more like H1 D1 and are used along with G41, 42 & 43

G43 H1 sets the tool height offset to offset 1 in the tool table. Hnn can be in the range of 1 to 254

G41/42 D1 tells tool compensation to use diameter offset 1 from the tool table to adjust the tool path by the rad of that tool offset.

That would be the sensible thing to do but you can use any offset with any tool.
