Uwe,

I see you are running in Metric. For a quick test to see if this is a Metric bug would you be able to do the same test in Inch?

The Bore cycle under the drill is mostly used for when you are using an insert drill and also using it as a boring too. An insert drill can be used as a boring tool if the outer insert is turned so it is on center. In Tool Setup the insert drill for the X offset is set up like a boring tool. When yo...

BobCad has the post processor for Centroid CNC12. Contact BobCad and they will provide it for you.

Point to note. Just issuing the G43 Hn will not cause Z to change position. The Z offset information will be added in the next commanded Z move. For example when you turn the height offset on for the mill with a G43 H2 and there is an offset value in for that tool, say H2 has -2.0000 value, the mac...

I have not followed your input in my settings yet BUT here is a current report. I have been playing around with changing Use G28 in parameters as well as in the setup menu in Intercon. What is the difference? is it that your permanently setting it in perimeters VS on-demand within Intercon for as p...

Hey all in this program (programmed in Intercon) my cut-off tool is crossing over in front of the part crashing. The lathe is a gang tool type and my cut-off tool is at the top of the table coming in from the backside, How do you compensate for this I don't really see options in Intercon to modify ...

Sorry I missed about MasterCam being set up just for the G41 as tool wear comp. For the circle MasterCam is not posting the circle out correctly even with the cutter diameter set to zero. cad cam man, After rethinking with the cutter diameter at 0.0 what happens the gray and the yellow are plotted o...

cad cam man, I hit submit too soon and had not mentioned about the approach at the beginning. What is happening that there is not enough distance between the line turning the cutter comp on and the next line that is an arc. What needs to be done the line before cutter comp being turned on needs to b...

cad cam man, In your first several post posts you said it is cutting correctly but it appears the graph is showing the X axis on the opposite side of where the tool is cutting on the machine. Just to make sure you are understanding the graph correctly. The gray lines are the edge of the cutter and t...

cad cam man,

Would you send the program that you are graphing and running. This way we can see what you are seeing on the graph. If the program was created with Intercon send that program also.
