General Mach Discussion / Re: Cutter Compensation
« on: December 08, 2012, 05:50:12 PM »
cutter comp for mach 3 works good. I discovered a minute ago that my earlier posted code was fine except it lacked one move per cut;

-
*G0-X.5 Y.5
G1 Z-.03125 F15.
*G41 X0. Y0.
X16.25 Y0.

G41 is not modal n must be put in with a small move to fixture offset position (cut start point) per cut.

Tool Tabl:

 

Ref. Tool              Diameter                Height
 
1                           .25                         0.

I am having same cutter comp issue. Cutter comp wont read, I put g41 in and the y axis starts .125 into cutter and it moves .125 toward the front of machine when cut is finished making an angle cut. I am used to putting in the dia of cutter in tool table. I will try different things in the tool table. I have not seen a good answer here yet.
