I am using a Mazak Nexus 510c-II with Mazatrol to build some fixture blocks in another shop. None of the operators or programmers in that shop know how to use cutter compensation on that machine. I generally run a Haas machine and utilize "wear" either in on the control or by adding in wear offsets into my program manually. The only wear offsets I can find on the Mazak is for tool length and I need to adjust tool diameter to open up some pockets and contours. I'm programming in Fusion 360 and have tried using "computer", "control", and "wear" in my post and not getting the desired results with any of them. Obviously I am struggling to understand how the cutter comp functions on this machine and where input my offsets. I am familiar enough with the machine to navigate through most of the pages but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to walk-in the cuts on my part to meet my tolerances. Any ideas on where to look?
