I have some code that mills a small cam shape about .25 inches in diameter.
I have a huge tangent lead in line several inches long at the moment. The code runs fine.
In order to understand tool (wear) offsets I added a G41 P0.05 at the beginning of the code just after the default pre-amble G40.
When the code loads I get a "tool radius greater than approach".
So Where does Mach get it's information about what tool I'm using? I have NO tools programmed and there is nothing in the code to indicate a tool size.
So the tool radius is certainly NOT larger than the several inch long lead-in line.
I have also attempted to add a tool T1, selected it in the code and go into the tool table and assign it a value of 0.5" diameter. Mach still complains with the same error.
What am I missing here?
