Re: Re: CNCPro

Roger,

Yes, Ah-ha does radius comp. I can believe it can be problematic to
program.
I got up to the MaxNC version that had radius comp, and it often made
some really
strange moves while calling an offset.
My dad machines some highly abrasive stuff for a customer, on a Sherline
I CNC'd
for him. Radius comp is a must, to account for cutter wear and maintain
tolerances.
It's way too much of a pain generating 4-6 seperate G-code files with
differing offset
tool paths, then keeping track of them all.
I'd have liked to try his program, but I do understand where he's coming
from.
Lots of folks window shop and never buy, he's concentrating on
supporting those
that support him. That means he'll inplement radius comp sooner if
CNCPro users
start asking for it, over non-users.
