Using control comp in lead in-outs

[cnc-king]

When I try to contour a .5 hole with a .25 endmill using control comp. climb milling, the lead in - out goes outside the .5 hole boundary. How do I get the dia. comp to follow the lead in-out??

Confused *&^($@

why not use the circle mill routine?

Toolpaths - Next Menu - Circle Toolpaths - Circle Mill and just pick the circle you want to cut, the cutter will start at the center and arc out to the diameter you want to cut or you can set it up to cut a helix going down in the hole

[JROM]

Put a point in the center of the circle
Turn on "use entry point" and "use exit point"
Select the point before the circle.
Enter the blend rad.
Enter the overlap.
Use computer comp not control comp.
Using control comp is giving away control of your tool paths. BAD
Only use cutter comp (control comp) for tight tolerance work.
Works every time.
Also pre drill the point if you can then the plunge is much nicer.
Goodluck

when using the lead in and lead out command check on gouge check lead in/out...
