LazyTurn / Tool tip radius
« on: March 30, 2012, 08:40:14 AM »
Hi all,
I am experimenting with LT on a Boxford 125TCL.
I get a preaty good finish but got a little problem with the dimensions...
For some reason if I create a tool in LT with a 0.4mm tip radius, the Gcode output from LT leave an 0.8mm extra of material (0.4 radius)
If I create a tool with a 0.1mm tip radius it leaces an 0.15...mm extra ??
I am trying to turn a part with a finish radius of 12mm and get a 12.4mm with a rough + fine pass with a stock clearance of "0". Any ideas ?
Am I doing something wrong?
Ta,
Laurent
