Can't see why yet??TOOL OFFSET ADJUSTMENT
1. Tool accurately machined the stock to dimension.
- no adjustment all ok
2. Tool when used caused the stock to be over dimension.
- The tool offset needs to changed such that the tool moves in more / removes more
material. So the tool offset needs to be increased.
3. Tool when used caused the stock to be "under" dimension.
- The tool offset needs to changed such that the tool moves in less / removes less
material. So the tool offset needs to be decreased.
Think the above is right!
FWIW,
Machine coordinates are displayed in radii. The tool table offsets are in radii for the X axis.
KISS!
Be carefull when making manual adjustments to tools and consider radius or diameter mode.
I confuse easily..............
