Could change cutter diameter and program still works but this should be the only advantage.
Used CAM module, "path workbench" in Freecad, not sure if I made some error but it did not work well for me. Simple path, should have an arc in each corner. It upper right corner it decided some kind of pecking cycle was a good idea, drilling an arc of tightly space holes. Source is available so it should be possibe to do something about it and think the back is good. > Is it any advantage in using cutter compensation when programming the > g-code using CAM?

Though still got some confusing movements. _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
