Re: Tool Wear Offset - Turn Milling
hi
P(1-9) is for knifes; P9 is for a knife that works on the center of the radius, just like how it was an endmill; i don't know if P also affects milling
when i program milling on a mill i like to program tool center; thus, G41/G42 will reflect the difference between a new tool and a refreshed/regrinded tool, so will be 0 for a new tool
another practice is to program the part, thus G41/G42 will reflect the radius of the tool, so will be new_tool_radius for a new tool
on a lathe, i like to program tool center, and avoid G41/G42, but instead i edit the X offset value : smaller for a smaller pocket
