General Mach Discussion / simulation

« on: April 09, 2011, 08:46:09 PM »

Hello, Have tried to run a simulation to watch toolpath on PC before running on mill. Simulation runs right through g code and crosshairs don't move and program runs right through. Part works on the mill but cant seem to get the simulator to operate correctly. New guy here.....thanks

General Mach Discussion / Re: tool radius comp

« on: March 14, 2011, 12:43:30 PM »

just putting a G42 in the program does not seem to work. The tool length offset works good but not radius. So that at least tells me that my tool table is correct. I have had to use G42 Px.xx to get it to work. Have been reading quite a few other posts and maybe I have not had enough lead in. Just wanted to make sure there was not a check box somewhere that I had in the wrong state.

General Mach Discussion / tool radius comp

« on: March 14, 2011, 11:13:41 AM »

do I always have to use P*.* after a G42? Mach does not see to get radius from tool table. When I input radius into code program runs fine. Tool length comp is working right but not radius.
