i use a CNC gantry mill with vertical and horizontal head so when G43 used normally it is
G0 G43 H1 Z20.
.
instead of
G0 G43 H1 X0. Y0. Z20.
..... as if multiple axis in line the length comp will effect every axis in line. on a cnc where it can point to +X or -X, +Y or -Y or -Z the cnc does not know which axis G43 should effect. but on 3 horizontal cnc's i use nearby if more than one axis in line G43 only effects Z
.
is it more normal in gcode if more than one axis in gcode line where G43 used length comp only effects Z ?? can others have
G0 G43 H1 X0. Y0. Z20. and length comp only effects Z ??
maybe it is a parameter setting ? i was told it is safer to use
G0 X0. Y0.
G0 G43 H1 Z20.
or only one axis in line where G43 used. i am just wondering maybe only important on 5 axis machine or only a few CNC
