It doesn't gouge, because currently EMC2 sees that I did a silly thing and tries to compensate. > I do not know what you mean by strict gouging alarm. > > Chris I want to be warned if the cutter gouges at the end of the commanded path, without the automatic path compensation. When I create g-code for a concave corner, I include the largest radius that the design will tolerate, then use a cutter with a radius equal to or less than the designated radius. This is part of the ancient issue of the designer usually not providing a drawing or g-code program complete enough for the machinist to make the part without guessing what the the designer intended. Design + Guessing = Result, the guessing component (by EMC2 or a machinist) should be as small as it can practically and economically be. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What You Don't Know About Data Connectivity CAN Hurt You This paper provides an overview of data connectivity, details its effect on application quality, and explores various alternative solutions. http://p.sf.net/sfu/progress-d2d _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
