when I use "off" it doesnt copensate for the tool radius I put in.?? |
Use cutter comp "control". This is the setting in mastercam where you have to manually input the radius of the tool in the offsets page.
If your control can work with cutter comp "wear" I would strongly advise using it cause this eliminates the chance of error by having to manually input the raidus in the control. You only have to adjust the offest value by the radial amount you want the tool to offset.
ie:
3/4" bore measures .002 too small, you input a -.001 in your offest registar
or
3/4" bore measures .002 too big, you input a +.001 in your offset registar.
