I have been running a lathe that doesn't accept cutter comp. Anytime that I am running critical angles , tapers , radii etc. I have been drawing the part up in Mastercam mill (no lathe seat) , Then drawing arcs the size of the cutting tool nose Radius tangent to the angles , radii etc. Then I find the points in X and in z.This works but I am wondering if I am overlooking a easier quicker way to program?
I would appreciate any input .
Thanks
