1) In the Tool Manager panel, select the tool assembly, right-click, ADD Cutter Compensation
â€¢ Under the Description column next to the new cutter compensation, enter the compensation value

2) in the Motion window, check "Check Spindle Direction"

make sure the insert is built correctly in the tool manager, the inserts in 6.0 have a taper toward the back. This feature allow us to know which side should be cutting.

I tried it, but it didn't work. Please, explaination more.

For Ex: I have Tool 4 = 1.0" dia Endmill, Dia offset D4, now my tool is undersize .010" . How do I adjust it

Thanks

Here are a few things to check:

In G-Code Settings, Process Cutter Comp = On - Default to Zero

If your D word matches the tool number (example: T4M6 .... G41 D4)
Then the Cutter Comp in the Tool manager must match Id number must be 4. If your tool is undersize, the value should be -0.01

In 6.1, you can monitor the Cutter Comp Value applied in the Status window. Info > Status.

SergeV,

I tried that, It didn't work either. Doesn't matter what value I put, Nothing happened.

Can you please try it out and see if it work at your site or I did something wrong here.

I know how it work with V5 and older Ver. We used "Cutter Comp" In G-Code Settings, Table, Tool tables ... It works fine. But I want to use This new option in V6

Thanks

In 6.0, we introduced a new macro to take the cutter compensation from the tool library instead of the table.

In your control, for the word D, replace the macro CutterCompValue with the new macro ToolCutterComp.

The controls in the Library are configured for this new method.

Thanks SergeV,

Changed word D to ToolCutterComp. It is working now

I have next question, what is Advantage with new macro and the old one.

The tool compensation settings are inherent to the tools and not to the VERICUT session. Therefore, if you use the same tools for multiple jobs you don't have to define the tables each time.

Also if you have the setting to compensation On full radius, you don't have to set anything. VERICUT will pick up the radius from the tool automatically. Before you had to put the full rad for each cutter in the tables.
