Cutter compensation
As the tool path is done in constant Z level, it's possible to call the cutter compensation in 2D.
Use this checkbox to indicate whether the tool radius compensation function is needed on the machine or not. This function allows the user to correct dimensions, relative to the actual dimensions of the tool used.(G41/G42).
This parameter is available ONLY
with
A perpendicular lead in/lead out
No planar faces machinings
Furthermore here TopSolid'Cam works with the shifted tool path (NOT original, we are in 3D).
