G43 Tool Compensation for 5 axis working ?

Hello Community,
Short question...
Does G43 Tool Compensation also work for 5 axis milling ?

Thank you

Greets Rene

In theory yes

www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/tool_co....html#sec:tool-table

If the tool table can contain on offset for all 9 axes, it should be applied.

Be interested to see how that went in practice

Hello Arceye,
so I have to set toolcompensation to all axes on my machine in the tool table ?

How can I measure that ?

Greets Rene

Very good question.

I have no idea what you axes are.

The glib answer is that tool one is set to zero in all planes and the other tools are set at the offsets in each plane from tool zero.

Some potential axes might have no offset in their own plane, others would, but measuring that could be difficult.

Lets see if someone chimes in who actually does it

regards
