So, I'm trying to hand code a part, and have it all working except for one profile. I'm using .5" round stock, cutting it square, cutting side pockets and drilling it. On the end of the part I'm trying to cut a little hump with a .125 cutter, and the profile shows fine in master cam, but is all off on the machine (Tormach 1100).. Given the Parms in the attached picture, what should the G03 line look like? I've figured out tool changes and tool offsets this weekend, but this has got me scratchin my head.
Here's the pertinent lines out of mastercam.. doesn't make sense to me. The first and last lines should be the entry and exit from the cut where x is already at the baseline cut depth.
N200 Y.1719
N210 G03 Y.3281 I-.2375 J.0781
N220 G01 Y.425
