    nc config not right , dia comp and height off set don't work

    hi ,
    I am running an old ultimax vmc and using mastercam 8 hurco post . I get a movement out of travel error when using h offset and D comp is not doing anything . I have run in to this in years past with another machine .
    does anyone know why this is ?
    thank you
    tony

    Off the top of my head...

    O0001;
    G90 G54 X0 Y0 S500 M3;
    G43 H1 Z.05. M8;
    G01 Z-1. F1.;
    G01 X-.5 G42 D1;
    G02 I.5;
    G01 X0 G40;
    G00 Z1. M9;

    Something like this? Rough mill, one inch deep, one inch circle, assuming the correct TLO and cutter compensation.

    Working blind here, I hope i'm helping.

    I would climb mill BTW, IE: G41 G03 etc...

    edit, I assume there is rough clearance on center allowing the EM to rapid to Z-1.

    CNC, I'f your wrong it WILL explain it to you in a big way. This is so much fun!

    The problem is it is the old Hurco with one tool offset page , meaning 01 is just a variable and can be the same as hight number and dia . So 1 is not tool it is var 1 (h1 then d different number )
