-Yes, the 2nd setup was just us playing around with different options.  But thanks for the sharp eye to detail.

 

Note:  We re-posted the exact same program as before, and post processor and it ran fine.

This is great...but why did that happen??


2. Cutter Radius Compensation? Why not use full diameter? For one it's more accurate. If you're having errors keep in mind that your linear lead in length is only .03125 and that may be throwing it off. Try changing it to half the nominal cutter diameter and see if that is better.

To fix this change your Axis (on the Stock tab in your Setup) to the outer radius or threaded bore in the center.
