Is it possible in MasterCAM to use cutter comp for a surface being cut with a ballnose endmill? I am curious what you have to do if you have a resharpened ballnose. Do you have to repost the program with the new radius of the resharpened endmill?

I have been programing with COMP LEFT in CONTROL for my profiles since the HAAS uses cutter comp. Do you have any preferences for the COMP in COMPUTER settings?

Is that patch for version 7.2? Thanks for your input.

I may have solved my own problem. I have to try it still. I noticed that my leadin/out straight lines were 0 in length. Making it start with an arc. I am going to add some length to this line making the CUTTER COMP do a G1 move before the G2. I hope this is the solution. If there are other tips, please let me konw. I am still learning the ropes here.

I am trying to locate a POST for the Haas Mini Mill (VF series) that will produce code for cutter comp. correctly. Cutter comp only works in the XY plane and needs to be set during a linear move. I get alarms from the cutter comp being set during a G2 or G3 move using the HaasVF post as well as most other posts that I have tried. I have the comp OFF in the COMPUTER and LEFT in the CONTROL using version 7.2 Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
