Hey all. First post since I got my 2016 Mini Mill and have been burning the candle on both ends studying this arcane art.
One thing I haven't been able to understand completely yet is what everyone keeps referring to as walking in a dimension with cutter compensation, e.g. tight tolerance bore diameter, slot width, etc...
What exactly is the generally accepted work flow for this? Roughing op > contour > measure > edit cutter comp value > another contour? Just one contour op but stop > edit > re-run? I'm sure there is a lot of ways to go about this but I'm positive there is a better way than I've been doing it.
What do you guys do?
Thanks!
