A question about wear compensation.....if I have a 1/4" end mill that is used for multipole operations in a setup and one of those setups requires me to put in a wear figure of say .001 to make a few holes just a bit larger, is there a way to do this for only that operation and not affect the rest of the operations that use that same 1/4" cutter. What is the best approach for doing this.
There is a couple ways. The easiest way is to use Stock to leave as a Negtive to remove more materail on that operation another thing you can do is use a differet offset with the tool. For Example normal would be T1 H1 D1 however on certain operations you could use T1 H1 D100.
