How to initialize rad compensation?

[dmitriy]

Hi. I tried to do it the way i'd do it on Haas or fanuc but of no success by some reasons. I was doing it in following way:
1. Z motion to the depth required.
2. Y or X motion with g code for rad/comp
3. milling pass.

(sabre 2000 with Acramatic 2100)

Somehow it does not compensate despite the diameter was specified in the tool table properly. Why wouldn't it work? What am i doing wrong? Tnx in advance.

Its been a while, but I recall that there are numerous offset tables on that control - you may need to specify an O-word that corresponds with tool number.
