My understanding is that cutter compensation is supposed to
automatically generate the same part if the diameter of the tool is
changed. So, if I cut one part with a tool with a diameter of .375 and
another with a tool with a diameter of .250, the parts should wind up
essentially the same.
Gentlemen,
I agree with Terry. The machine should do exactly what the program
tells it to do - nothing more - nothing less. I realize this is a
reiteration of previous conversations but I wanted to vote on this
subject.
thanks

I had a much longer reply to an earlier message but this is better,
(shorter and more to the point).
Believe it or not the people who buy controls from the likes of Fanuc and
Mit have provided feedback which has guided the development of those
controls over the years.
If you users did not find
would want EMC to work as Okuma did,
comp should use the radius of the current tool. My 2 cents worth :)

Hi,
If this is something that is hard to fix then
I am sorry for bringing it up.
I am sure someone before me has pointed out that the
cutter compensation (G41,G42 milling) does not work
as it should on concave radii.
I use CAM software to do most of my work,using
tip comp (mostly .000 dia tool

I still feel bad complaining about something
that I can get around with a few mouse clicks,when
you guys spend so much of your time fixxing/improving
EMC.

I have heard that a lot of cam-generated code doesn't work with emc's
cutter compensation because it depends on certain behavior in concave

I know where you are coming from on figuring things
out for yourself.Many of the people on this forum
are in this as a hobby and should learn the right
way to do G-code.
As for myself I have been writing G-code for 20+ years
and the fun of solving comp problems has lost its appeal.
