General Mach Discussion / Mach 3 Cutter comp Problem
« on: February 01, 2007, 02:36:33 PM »
Help Please! I cannot get this program to run correctly.
I am trying to mill a bore that is .750 in diameter by .125 deep using a 3/8" endmill. The following program is how I would accomplish this using my Haas mill. When I run this in Mach 3 the program runs centerline of tool ignoring the offset. I have a tool diameter of .375 entered on the tool page on tool #1. This bore needs to be programed using cutter comp becuase there are slight variations in the part that fits into the bore and the easiest way to adjust the bore for the part fit is to adjust the cutter diameter.
Thanks,
Scott
