programing

[Fredster]

ok i got my drawing and it specifies that "NO CUTTER COMP. centerline programing only" (dimentioned geometry IS the toolpath).......does that mean with the givien information of X's and Y's points, make the program? or should i add the Radius of the cutter and manually calculate a path to those points? tool is a 3/16's End Mill (.1875) (R.0.09375) im making A Cube that has Milled Out Shapes that will Float Free Inside (Circle,Square,X-shape,Diamond,Triangle,and Clover) I need Help Please & Thanks

Nothing more to do. Program with no comp and give them what they are asking for and done.

 

Yes it means they have given you he X and Y and you draw that and toolpath that and call it a day.
