You can program to the edge of the tool if after your done you explode to a
polyline and put cuttercomp on it.(ONLY SMARTCAM) then do a lead in and out
(Haas Fanuc and fadal all let you run cutter comp in three axis if every
line has an x,y, in it. ) let smartcam code to the center of the tool and
you will get the most adjustment out of it!!
