Ken, I am a religious user of Verify, and I have avoided X7 because it needs to be very accurate. I have sent in some simple contouring parts that I cannot trust in this verify. I spoke to mike today and he agrees that he sees the same problem I cannot rely on X7 until this is fixed I will have to rely on V6 Greatest Regards Tony G

Hello i have reverted back to the old perpendicular entry to the first cut move using wear (g41) machine makes part fine with no value in cutter comp register when a minus value is entered to cutter comp the graphic loses the rapid motion and locks to a z.25 rapid point regardless of any z minus g01 motion when a zero value is entered to cutter comp the machine runs fine I need the rule or method for g41 lead in to utilize cutter comp for bridgeport 800c w/ DX32 control (circa 1998) I never though a FADAL would ever get off the bottom of the barrel!!!
