I have to kindly disagree with your statment that most Fanuc or fanuc like controls like different number from your tool number.
I use the same offset as the tool number, have for about 15 years, never seen any problem.
You can use a different offset number, if you want to leave extra material, say for a finish pass.
So if you are using tool #1 that is a 1/2 mill, you could set offset #1 to .500 and use offset #21, set at .505 to leave .0025 material for clean up. |
Sorry Wms,
I have to dissagree also. Fanuc controls are actually 50/50
in regards to using the same offsett. As far as multi passes
for finish thats what our cadcams are for. JM2C
PEACE
