    circular pocket with cutter comp on

    Hi all,
    I'm somewhat new to camworks and am having trouble with the following.
    I want to mill a circular pocket of .8755 diameter using a .625 end mill. I want to use cutter comp with an arc lead in and lead out. As much as I mess with the settings I can't seem to get the correct combination of lead in amount, lead angle, arc radius, and arc angle to get the correct tool path. I know I can manually write it but I want to find the solution in camworks. Thanks for any help,
    Peter
