General Mach Discussion / Re: Cutter Compensation

I don't know for shure IF the code made it into a version or not. I know it was in a devel version for testing purposes. One way to test is IF it excepts arcs for leadins then it is NOT the new code.

I would say that 99.99% of all users have never ran with a formula so I think you are a minority with that problem(;-).

The new comp code is very much Fanuc in nature and worked very well when I tested it a while back.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3 wont apply offset?

« on: November 29, 2010, 09:52:46 PM »

HUM I ran it here AND the problem was the G91 used with the G28.

Yes the D34 called the tool 34 offset instead of the T4 offset but I simply added the tool Radius to tool 34 as used to test the rest of the code.

IF I commented out the G91 (G91)  it ran ok .

OH well as long as you are running that is all that matters

It was the G91 I don't think Mach will run the G28 in inc mode.It should have thrown an error

I don't think MACH supports the P parameter.

Tom has a new low cost unit out as well. One thing to think about there is more to the THC than meets the eye. IF it were as simple as it seems everyone would be doing it with a simpl plc (;-).

From experience there are THC's and there are GOOD THC's. 

Just a thought, (;-) TP

That Jpg is a screen print saved in PAINT then trimmed and saved as a JPG.

As Graham mentioned as well Mach will not process the P values you used in the arc
