Ill try to keep it simple
Software : Rhinocam 2017
Machine : 5 axis (aggregate head) CNC router,
Job : Simple 200mm dia cylinder , 300mm high
Post processor : MACH3 MM
Problem statement : "Surface Normal" in 5 axis machine operation is used to generate the tool path, the tool path is perfect as seen in Picture 1, Tool path is taking in account 20mm Gauge length, and 100mm tool length, so that means 100(half dia of cylinder) + 20 +100 = 220, at a point where Y = 0, Everything is perfect in tool path generation.
But the problem in is when the job is posted using MACH3 post processor(picture 2) , observed in the posted NC file, the value at this location of tool is 100, which means that when exported the gauge length and tool length is not taken in account.
what am i doing wrong ???
