New Helicoil Traj fails with Cutter Comp

[blong]

Has anyone else encounter this? The Cutter comp turns off after 1st circle at the top level no way to get it to turn off at the bottom .

I can not understand why it is doing this .

Any Ideas?

Brent,

The only thing I can think of is to make sure you have a lead in / out set to turn on cutter comp.

I am sure you are aware of this but it doesn't hurt to check.

I assume this is a single point trajectory threadmill.

Steve,

Yea Cutcom is set. No this is not thread milling it is just a simply Jaw program to hold a part done in 3 axis Traj mill.

Brent,

ok I see it's a helical mill part not a thread !! you had me confused with helicoil.

with the helical cut to turn the cutcom on you need to have a leadin lead out set.

This works for me with cut comp.

Steve ,

Yea that worked using lead in lead out and will fix the problem for the time being.

Still does not work using Approach and exit = normal

Thanks
