Actually, I think it might work for that too, though I hadn't considered it and the offsets applied to the existing queue would be potentially much bigger than I envisaged, > I don't know if > the cutter comp issue is the only thing that would break it, that > needs more thought. You win the beer with that sneaky G41 ploy. Of course _everybody_ has a toolchange before the final finish pass to put in their known-size cutter, don't they :-) -- atp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
