Can anyone tell me if the TNC 151 actually DOES do cutter radius compensation on circles?
My Heidenhain book gives the code for applying compensation but when I do it it gives me an error message. ("path offset wrongly started" My CAM package (Dolphin) is perfectly capable of generating code incorporating the cutter offset to produce correct contours but it would be useful to be able to apply it at the controller to allow use of different tools without re-post processing the drawing.
