Below is a sample from our Bostomatic milling machine. In it we can change the cutter diameter that is entered in by the operator anywhere in the code using a G39 code followed by a D register with the diameter you want to use in 4 place decimal format. Lets say the operator sets T4=1.0 FINISH E/M to 1.0 diameter in the control and it profiles the outside of a cam follower using a subroutine. We can enter G39D1.1 and run the subroutine and it will leave .05" mat'l/side or .1" on diameter of the cam follower for a roughing pass then we can say G39D1.0 and run the subroutine again at finish size. Neat...

My question is...does the Fanuc OM Series control have any way of programming cutter diameter in the code?
