You do not say what version of EMC you are using. In EMC2.3, it is explicitly an error if the first move after turning off compensation is an arc, so I suspect you are not using EMC2.3. You should be, however, because the cutter compensation is MUCH better than ever before. The solution to your problem is to turn off compensation only after arcing away from the part. It is a mistake to turn compensation off (or on!) when the tool is touching the part.
