Colin,

I think what you need to do is add a non-cutter comp lead-in. Add the lead-in from the plunge location to the start of the profile. If you use "Reference Point" to add the lead-in, it will automatically be produced with no cutter comp.

Subject: [mfg-smartcam] CUTTER COMP.

I need to program a slot that is 1.67 long and .75 wide using a 1/2 dia. endmill. I would to plunge at one end of the slot and in the center then go around the slot. When I use the cutter comp., it looks like the tool is being offset and starting off center.

 

Thank you

Colin Williams
