hi all trying to do a job at work but i cant for the life of me get the vmc to compensate for the cutter and i have it in the format g01 g42 x0 y 25.4 d2 f50 but it still wont work the cutter radious in the offsets is 6.63mm and its position before that line (g01 g42 x0 y 25.4 d2 f50) is x-10 y -50. any help would be great as i really need it. also if anyone knows a quick prog to put a 25.4 mm radius on some 2 inch flat bar would be great too cheers jack

Also the machine is a Bridgeport vmc 610 xp2 with a fanuc 18i mb

i see the position befor and the G42 line but what is the nex move ??? direction matters

[dales]

After the compensation is on I'm moving the x axis to do a radius

[hitachibos]

i need to see more to help you moving the X where?

Thanks for quick replys I solved it all now by instead of moving both x and y at same time whilst trying to comp on I just moved y in to -25.4 then on another line moved x from -10 to 0 cheers
