    Mach3 Plasma G41 G42

    WHEN I WANT TO USE the COMPENSATION OF RADIO G41 G42 I WRITE G41 P1 Or G42 P1, BUT the CUT LAYOUT IS NOT CORRECT, MAKES FORMS THAT DO NOT FOLLOW the PROFILE OF the PIECE OR CUTS IN DIAGONAL, IS SOME PARAMETER TO FIT THIS?
    MANY THAKS

    P is the tool diameter, so if you use P1 you'll get a 1/2" offset. Also, you need to add a lead in move for comp to be applied. If you can upload a .dxf and your code I'll give you a hand with it.

    Try this. It's in absolute mode, and yours was incremental. The P specifies half the plasma kerf.
