David Perron,

 

"Report to the Principal's Office NOW!" J/K But seriously, do a "Search" above and you will find many a topic with this same argument. I know I told you about the differences between the compensation switches when you were here for training. If you need a refresher, come in for a Tech Day. Or simply call and ask. I've provided others with some good reasons for their supervisors but to those on the floor here's one very good reason: they won't be responsible for scrap unless they try to put in the full tool size to adjust it. Then all bets are off.

 

The key here is to educate. Knowledge is power. The power to adjust programs without having to go back into Mastercam to change it. The power to lead in/out in tight areas only slightly larger than the tool. The power to apply the compensation to the toolpath before the cutter gets any where near it, (eliminates gouging due to Control not activating comp until the end of the first linear move). There are plenty of other reasons. HTH

 

Mayday,

And then they should get an alarm or have WAY TOO MUCH stock left unless they put the tool dia as a negative number.
