Looking for some confirmation that my post is correct. Have a DMG MORI NLX2500 Lathe with live tooling. First time I have attempted a program with face milling on the sub spindle and I noticed that for climb milling it is outputting G42 instead of the G41 I expected to see. Spindle is running in reverse as I expected. Is this normal based on how the control calculates cutter comp for the sub spindle? Hopefully somebody has encountered this and can allay my concerns before I run this job.

I have an issue with cutter comp not activating on finish passes. Can someone verify? 1) Create a circle 2) Create a contour with wear comp and contour type = ramp 3) Use a depth in "Ramp Motion" 4) Check the box "Make pass at final depth" 5) Enter a 90 degree lead in and out. Do not use arc. 6) Turn on muti passes and use 1 rough pass. 7) For finishing use 2 passes with zero spacing 8) Check the "Final Depth" radio button 9) Enter a depth 10) Post it out and look for cutter comp on final passes. It will not post out finish pass cutter comp on any of our posts when using X5 or X7. Note: This is very buggy and will work with certain instances. Sometimes it will give comp on the 1st finish pass, but not the 2nd. Try comping in from exact center of circle vs moving the lead in a little. Also, try multiple finish passes vs 1 finish pass. Try a few scenarios and check the output. I would appreciate any feedback to see if it's Mastercam or "PEBCAK" (Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard)

So we inherited a few Mazak Variaxis 630-5X's and we cannot figure out how to use the the cutter comp commands in them.(G42,G43,G41) Do they read the commands? I would assume so. We got a bunch of programs in the controller's as well and it looks like whoever was doing the programming before never used them once. Any help?
