Hi ,
Machining a shaft and have added a pass through M00( Measure) so I can adjust my finish cut if needed. I make my adjustments on machine control, cycle start. the size still the same. I notice in the post it doesn't call the tool for the finish cycle. It starts where it left off. Is there away to make you adjustment then run finish cycle in the Step up in fusion 360.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Could you share your file so we can see the workflow? Also, what machine is this and what post processor are you using?

The finishing operation after the M00 stop is not set to the "In Control" option so therefore it is likely that the Post Processor is not outputting the "tool offset call", usually either a G41 or a G42, in your case it is likely to be a G42.
Without your specific Post Processor (I used the Doosan PP with Puma option) I may not have it exact but the image of the code shown in the second image does show that the "tool offset" is being "called" by the G42 line of code when the Finishing Operation is set to the "In Control" option, see images below.
Hope this is of some help ![]()
Compensation set to "In Control" gives you code in second image
Note the G42 line of code

That would likely be because the tool cutting sideways at full depth and full width in a single move which Grooving tools don`t like to do ![]()
Not likely that a 1mm tool would survive that move but you never know, what material? ![]()
However changing a few settings under the "Passes" tab as shown in the image below would make that Operation a lot easier on the Grooving tool, just a suggestion, it may look like an odd toolpath but should do a nice clean groove safely

Hope this helps a little, that is the area to "play around in" for this stuff, modified file attached ![]()

Thankyou for your help. Changed the finish cycle to control on the bagger pulley it changed to G41 not G42. Would it because internal machining vs External machining?

Hi engineguy,
A colleague of mine modified the post processor. Not sure how to send you what you require. Could you show the steps how to do this?
