what if I am using a renishaw probe to find the precise dia/wear of my tool? with the tool comp set to Wear meaning my tool Dia/Rad is 0, how will my probe know where to start probing from?
The lead in needs to be bigger than the radius of the cutter + the comp size. So if you are using wear, the cutter size is 0 and yes, your lead would only need to be bigger than the anticipated comp range. If you only give it 0.002 of lead and the operator needs 0.0021 of comp, it will alarm out. I would be cautious with no lead out. Some machines will move in XY to complete the comp cancel. Might not be a big deal if its only 1 or 2 thou but any unintended machine movement can lead to bad things. But like the saying goes, if it ain't broke....
@@CamInstructor thanks for the confirmation! Also I’m not sure if it is in mastercam settings, but if you run a finish pass with wear comp and try to run a spring pass, it will input a g40 and cancel the comp before it runs the spring pass. No big deal because you can manually move the g40 after the second pass but just wondering if you might know where the setting would be to change that is.
okay so if i understood correctly, when i use a 16mm endmill, which in reality is 15.98mm in diameter, i get the following stock left on the walls: computer = 0.01mm control = 0mm wear = 0.01mm reverse wear = 0.01mm off = -7.99mm and when i use wear, then the control will just offset the toolpath, depending on the cutter compensation side, by the amount i have entered in the tool wear offset right?
Yes., that sounds about right. Just keep in mind, control, wear, and reverse wear are just giving you the ability to adjust your cut in/out. The only difference is how you tell the control how much to move and what to base it off of.
Depends on the flexibility needed on the machine and what the machine operators are used to. Many will go with a Wear setting, this may cut down on lead in/out compensation errors which can occur when using Control. Control allows the use of re-ground endmills since the cutter size can be greatly adjusted. It all really depends on what the operator/programmer/shop decide is the best practice for them.
hi sir, can i ask ? If i have 1mm endmill tool, and i use 2mm tool in mastercam but i use 1mm tool in machine, it must be wear compensation type, and -1.0 wear in machine ? In wear or geometry, what the different ? Thankyou
Using a smaller tool on the machine than used in Mastercam, you'll need a negative value if using wear or control. It doesn't really matter if you put this value into the geometry field or wear field on the control as the control will add these two numbers together and use that number for tool offsetting. The control doesn't treat geometry offset different than wear offset, its for the user to be able to see adjustments made to a tool.
I loved your attention to details. Also the best video I found about cutter compensation and its implementation in both code and machine.
Awesome, thank you!
thanks man for the great content of this video. Very helpful for the ones like me learning the very basics of mastercam
This is exactly what I needed to know... thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Great explanation. Good for those that are learning!
Thanks!
Great video, Thanks of lot
Great video! Thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks 🙏

good videos
Thank !
Welcome!
For wear comp I’ve always been told lead in no lead out and set your lead in larger than the wear you would be using
The lead in needs to be bigger than the radius of the cutter + the comp size. So if you are using wear, the cutter size is 0 and yes, your lead would only need to be bigger than the anticipated comp range. If you only give it 0.002 of lead and the operator needs 0.0021 of comp, it will alarm out.

This stems back to your use of lead out. With no lead out this is the behavior you will get, add a lead out and the G40 will be at the end.

Very clear. Which compensation method is recommendable and safe for production
? Thank you.

3D video upload brother...
Then new drafting with 3D modelling upload bro
Good afternoon sir i will learn in all comments how get possible?
Sorry, not understanding your question. Can you try rephrasing.
