Hi All,
I am using the following code to cut a circular pocket (16mm diameter) in aluminum. To the best of my knowledge, this code should work.
Now here is my problem: when I actually cut the pocket, it measures out as 16.2mm, which is hugely over. I cannot for the life of me figure out why this is happening. I am thinking this is a mechanical problem with my vise or the collet (ER32 with CAT40 holder) allows major tool runout?
I would really appreciate any input that you have as my only two ideas don't really make sense and I'm a bit of a n00b.
G-Code snippet follows (Dimensions are inches, tool is 6mm EM ~.2362"D. No machine cutter comp. Flood coolant.):

N48 G90 X.9514 Y-.4331
