Micheal: Yes, I believe there is. You will need to see if you can read and write to variable #2002. The tool length offset is #2001, or H1, and the diameter, or radius ofset is #2002 or D2. I have not used a 0M for some years, and the variable numbers may be different. It works on a Fanuc 16. I am not sure if you need to have macro B turned on or if it works without an option. A macro statement like this may work: #2002=.500(SET INITIAL SIZE) #2002=[#2002+.003]( A VALUE IS CHANGED IN THE CODE) G1G41D2(TURN ON CUTTER COMP) You might also check out http://www.programmingunlimited.com there are some good macro examples there for many different controls.
