I make several profile parts with the same cutter, when I sharpen the cutter I go into cam and change the diameter, this works.
What I was wondering is if I sharpen the cutter can I use cutter comp in Pathpilot for the new diameter? I watched a Saunders video on cutter comp, come to find out as near as I can tell that it uses the diameter in the tool table?? For some reason I never knew this, just ignorance on my part I guess. I had it in my mind that it had to be turned on or a g code entered to use it, this is evidently not the case??
I have 8 or more programs that use this cutter and its a pain to change the diameter in all those programs when it can be changed in Pathpilot from what I have seen once and done......
Any insight on this is very welcome...............
