General Mach Discussion / tool compensation
« on: December 09, 2011, 10:14:48 PM »
I am needing some help.  I have a cnc router running mach 3 with cabinet vision cabinet software.  When we output our gcode from cabinetvision it may be a few days until we actually cut the project.  Our problem is we have our 3/8" cutters resharpened.  There's no way of knowing exactly what size tool we will be cutting with beforehand.  It usually is somewhere between 8.7 mm and 9.525mm, depending if it was sharpened once or twice.
Is there somewhere in the Mach software where I can enter the correct tool diameter for a job and somehow override the tool diameter that is in the gcode from cabinetvision?  If possible, please explain as I am not real familiar with the mach software.  Also if somebody has another suggestion or way to do this another way let me know.  Very much appreciated!

Thanks in advanced
Brent
