Re: Tool nose compensation
Might be easier to program the path that the centre would perform...ie. path is 6mm offset from the part profile
No need for cutter comp
No need for P values
Back to your issue... P value might be better using P9 with cutter comp (12mm dia)
.. also remember
(If comp remains active)..your retracts & repositions have to be larger than the tip dia, as the tip needs space for movement away from the cut profile.
((If comp is cancelled after each pass).. your retracts should be more than the tool radius away from the last cutting pass.
