I tried your suggestion and at first glance
it looked liked it had worked.
However closer scrutiny reveals when going
from left comp to no comp
the insert goes on the diameter and cuts
the element using the
center of the insert and instead of being comped
to one side.

A lathe G01 plunge in move is coded as a G02 move?
I’ve attached a .SH2 lathe
file along with its coded file and its job setup file for a horizontal
lathe using a Fanuc 6T General
Electric control. Early 80’s vintage stuff.
Hopefully the files will make it
through.
If they do my question is…
On T15 element 34 in the shape file
I have the boring bar plunging in .004” per side.
This is the code that SC generates
for that .004” plunge in move.

Why does SC output a G02 move for
the .004” plunge in move?
For manual editing at the machine
control due to taper problems
it is easier, and a lot less error
prone to have a G01 move like so…

Any reasons why this occurs?
I do not have V11.5 lathe so I
cannot see whether or not it happens when
coding with that package.
I am using the center of the rad on
the insert tip, not the virtual tip
because that is my customer’s
request.
