Cutter Comp/Tool Tip Radius
This chapter describes the Cutter Compensation and Tool Tip Radius
Compensation (TTRC) parameters. This lets the part programmer program
the path the tool follows in terms of the tool’s center or gauge point
without regard to the diameter or tool-tip radius.
The Cutter Compensation and TTRC parameters are broken into
two sections:
Parameter: Page:
Compensation basic setup 23-2
Compensation error detection 23-13
When you select “Cutter Comp/Tool Tip Radius” from the main menu
screen, this screen becomes available:

These parameters also appear if the application type is Grinder and the control type is Surface.
If the application type is: and the control type is: these parameters do not appear:
Mill/Lathe Lathe Defines offset as Diam. or Rad
Grinder Cylindrical
For Dual Processing controls, these parameters are global and can not be
set per process. The values set apply to all processes.
