backplot for turning

[camtd]

When I turn on cutter comp to "comp at the control" the backplot cuts away the part but when I set the cutter comp to "comp at the computer" the backplot is correct.

I need to post out using "comp at the control" and have the correct backplot.

This is using Mastercam X4mu1

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have never used comp at the control before.I always use comp at the computer.I dont know why you would use that.I always adjust my tools at the machine after i Preset them.Is there something special for your comps at your machine such as a code like a G41? I adjust my X,Z,Y axis at the machine in the wear offsets as the tool wears.

You could purchase a G-Code back plotter like NC Plot. I never trusted MC's Verify after a few close calls on new machines. You can never have too many tools. Rather be safe than sorry.
