thad i dont know if this is what you are asking
but i analyze dynamic click on a surface you want to analyze.in the lower left corner shows you x,y,z and radius infor
overburn you put on a electrode is for the amount of power that you are going to use while burning.
i come up with my overburn by the size of the electrode and in 3-d causes by the minium radius sizes on the contour....
one thing to remember is that when using graphite for your electrode you cant burn with more than 50 amps per square inch.
i deal with left and right hand parts all the time...what we do is just reverse the path and mirror the program at the machine...
therefore the cutter is climb cutting on right and left hand parts....
WHEN I WANT A TOOL TO STOP BETWEEN ROUGHING AND FINISHING... CALL THE SAME TOOL UP AGAIN...SO YOU WILL HAVE 2 TOOL BUT THEY ARE THE SAME SIZE AND SAME TOOL NUMBER... I HOPE I EXPLAINED THIS GOOD ENOUGH
I use 10-15 tool also and I call the table zero. so all I have to do is call tool up and touch it off with a gage block. And I run the tool at the speed it will be running at for like 30 seconds or so. before setting it off the gage block. I do this because I find the tool holder gets sucked up a couple tenths when running at high rpm's
