The control on our Haas TM-1 mill has a diameter column on the tool offset table. I think this is used by the control only for automatic cutter compensation.

The lathe has tip radius, plus front, back angles and orientation. I would like to have end mill corner radius or v angle and full depth diameter. I'm wondering if there is precedent for this. Currently, I have to enter this data into a g-code generator each time I run the app. For lathe, everything I need is available from the tool table. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
