so i tried using G41 on a program i made for a part and a few things ended up being off. one being a decreasing diameter taper, and the other a g22 radius to front side increasing diameter taper. the decreasing diameter taper ended up being overcut on the z-axis, and the radius ended up starting too far in on the z-axis. i used the compensation on roughing the back taper and front separately as the stock was close enough to the OD of the plateau to not need roughing. when i rapid back to home i make sure all the contours will allow for 2x's radius to fit.
i'm not very sure what i'm doing wrong in the program, but can somebody give me some pointers on do's and don'ts while using G41 on this machine?
