p1 value, 4axis programming

[TravisHancock]

I’m in a bit of a jam. I program a 4 axis wire burn in mastercam version 9.1 and cannot get the machine to burn what the cad data reflects. I’m trying to burn a 5 degree lifter pocket with no success. The results vary. I used an in computer trimming method, and the result was a four degree angle. I used in control trimming method and the result was a 6 degree angle. Also when I post the path using an in control trimming method a P1 value is placed at the end of the G41/G42 line. Can you please explain to me what this value represents?

What machine?

What control?

I post with control trimming but if G92 has I, J it resets data that I entered in control.
