Re: [mfg-smartcam] Cutter comp

Vance     What I do in that case would be start in the center or off center and do a lead in with the line offset match off. Even if the tool is moving .005 cutter comp will start with that.   Note: Cutter comp can't be no more than .005 in this exp.   Dave Wolfgang CNC Programmer/Supervisor www.hrindustries.net ----- Original Message ----- From: Vance Qualls To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2001 12:24 PM Subject: [mfg-smartcam] Cutter comp How can I get SmartCam 11.5 Production Milling to output code with cutter comp to initiate before the first move in Z before starting a profile.  For example; entering a pocket which is not much bigger than the diameter of the end mill.  (Using a Haas VF-0 vertical machining center) Can I do this in Machine define, or is there an edit in the .tmp file I can make?
