I have a fairly simple pocket shape that I am trying to mill.
Attachment 442120
I am using a 12mm tool, and the actual tool diameter set in the machine is 11.7mm.
Clearly the corners I have shown as square will be round but the drawing is just an illustration.
My issue comes when writing the G-code for the operation.
The shorter horizontal movement across the top finishes short when I put in the dimensions I would have thought it wanted.
Whys would this be - is my code just wrong?
N0080 G00 Y0 X0
N0090 G01 F=4000 Z8
N0100 G42 F=4000 Y-24
N0105 G01 X-50
N0110 G01 Y0
N0130 G01 X-31
N0135 G03 X-25 B6
N0160 G01 X25
N0175 G03 X31 B6
N0180 G01 X50
N0190 G01 Y-24
N0200 G01 X-50
N0360 G01 G40 X0
N0370 G00 Z0
Is there an issue in going from a circular move to a straight with no Y move?
I am dealing with a purpose made machine and have no manuals or knowledge of the G-Code flavour being used I am assuming the B is the Radius but have not seen that before either.
Can anyone please help - I am assuming this is something I am doing wrong so do not be shy to tell me!!
I would like to understand the logic used to do the G42 compensation if this is where the issue is.
Thanks
