    Tool diameter compensation on a Techno CNC machine

    Hello guys, first time posting here.

    English isn't my first language so I'll try my best.

    I was wondering if it is possible to setup (on the CNC software) an offset, or compensation value for the tool diameter.

    We are using 0.500'' tools. The fact is that when we get the tools sharpened, the diameter gets smaller as much as 0.475''.

    Programs are generated in a program named Microvellum and the tool diameter is set in there.

    I would like to be able to change something into the CNC software instead of having to reprogram my jobs everytime I change a tool.

    Is it doable with the Techno CVC software (BUILD #400)?

    Thanks!

    Does it support G41/G42?

    Hello,

    The newer versions of the software have this ability. Contact us at Armor CNC - contact page - to discuss.
    Your CAM software has to put out the proper G41/42/43 commands to take advantage of it.
