R Comp in two planes

[Guest]

I am looking for a C-hook or some way that allows me to apply R comp to a 4 diameter inch grinding weel that is a 1/4 inch wide with a full 1/8 edge radius. I want to grind a surface and need accurate cutter comp of the 4 inch diameter AND the full 1/8 edge radius. Thanks for any input!

Did you try defining the wheel as a bullnose cutter with a 4 inch diameter and .125 corner radius? The tool will be offset the radius of the cutter and comped on both sides of the disk. I will e-mail you a file which demonstrates this.
