Cutter compensation G41/42 was created by 3D-Master
coming from Heidenhain i can just move in one axis including RL/RR (Heidenhain cutter compensation) and the tool will move in one axis as well but it seems like linuxcnc doesnt move in one axis but two. If there is not much space but i need to use cutter comp, then i move to the starting point of the entry radius with 5% distance of the endmill and the entry radius is 5% bigger than the endmill as well and this works flawlessly with Heidenhain.
attached images:
1: starting point. Circle is cutter, green line is entry move and blue line is contour to cut.
2: moving straight to the starting point of the entry radius then continuing moving along the entry radius.
3: this is what i believe linuxcnc does, it moves the tool to the left completely through the entry radius
is there anything i can do to achieve what i can with Heidenhain? (can this be hacked?)
How would you do this?
The exit move is exactly the same (though mirrored) but linuxcnc doesnt have an issue with that.
