Title: NF Circle cut wizard
Post by: vmax549 on May 05, 2007, 07:55:17 PM
Good Evening Ron, I was using the cut circle wizard today and noticed a quirk. As the bit is leading into the circle just before it starts to cut the radius it does a little jog out of the circle leaving a small dimple cut about .020 deep. It does it on every pass at the same spot. Could you check it out? Thanks Terry Parker

Can you tell me more- what dia cicrle, what tool dia, did you select inside or outside circle?

I suspect this is a function of the tool radius comp, related to your tool size and circle dia.
