I had to change the tool I originally programed, a .5" diameter flat end mill, I broke the last one I had. The next tool I have that was long enough is a 1" diameter flat end mill. I opened the parameters, chose the new tool and regenerated the tool path. I was cutting a pocket and yeap, the thing was .25" per side too big. Re-opened the parameters looked at the "Cut Pattern" parameter, in the Radial Offset box is said .25 and the Compensation type is set to computer.. Why would mastercam let me change the tool and not automatically change the tool offset?
