    Question Setting to change cutter comp from Radius(R) to Diameter(D)?

    I'm circle-interpolating a lot of very tight-tolerance holes and it's quite maddening that the cutter comp page is in 'radius'. In 'radius' the minimum diameter adjustment I can get is 2 tenths (.0002) so when I'm trying to hold some bores with .0003 of tolerance, I have to wait until they're pretty much undersize before I can make an adjustment or they'll go over. Now I know on the HAAS control this setting can changed but I'm quite unfamiliar with the FANUC controller. Can someone please help me find this?

    It would help to know WHAT Fanuc control you have. The parameters aren't always the same.

    We actually found the parameter but for some reason the changes won't take effect. How do I get the changes to stay?

    Are you keeping the model of the control a secret?

    I can't remember off the top of my head what they are, I want to say one is a Series 31 Model A, and two others are Series 32 Model A.

    On the 30 series, there is a new [EXEC] soft key that should set the new value in the parameter.
