- Cutter compensation G code in the offset mode
The offset vector can be set to form a right angle to the moving
direction in the previous block, irrespective of machining inner or
outer side, by commanding the cutter compensation G code (G41,
G42) in the offset mode, independently. If this code is specified in a
circular command, correct circular motion will not be obtained.
When the direction of offset is expected to be changed by the
command of cutter compensation G code (G41, G42), see "Change in
the offset direction in the offset mode".
