Re: cutter diameter compensation (CDC)?

CDC is not processed automatically. You need to turn it on:

Setup > G-Code Settings
Process Cutter Comp.

Now, for each tool, you need to enter a table to specify the compensation value

Setup > G-Code Settings, Tables tab
Add/ Modify
Table Name = Cutter Compensation
Register = (D number)
Value = tool Radius or tool wear value
Add

repeat for every tools

:?: not Value = tool radius
We set Value = tool radius for practise.

:?: We set but not support D20~D50?

Re: cutter diameter compensation (CDC)?

I corrected my response above, it should have said "Radius" and not Diameter is the value in the table :oops:
