G12 Circular Pocket Milling

Example 1: Without tool radius compensation, Q = 0
I=K=3.0












Toolpath (Dotted): 1A: 180
o
(starting path), red
1B: 180
o
(r = 3 = I = K), red
2A: 180
o
(r = 3 = I = K), blue
2B: 180
o
, returning path
Total: 2 complete circles
Small circle radius (1A+2B) = 1.5,
Large circle radius (1B+2A) = 3 (=I=K)

Example 2: With tool radius compensation, Q = 0
I=K=3.0













Programmed path: 1A': 180
o
(starting path), red
(Solid) 1B': 180
o
(r = 3 = I= K), red
2A': 180
o
(r = 3 = I= K), blue
2B': 180
o
, returning path
Total: 2 complete circles
Small circle radius (1A'+2B') = 1.5
Large circle radius (1B'+2A') = 3

Toolpath (Dotted): 1A: 180
o
(starting path), red
1B: 180
o
(r = 2.5 = Id/2= Kd/2), red
2A: 180
o
(r = 2.5 = Id/2= Kd/2), blue
2B: 180
o
, returning path
Total: 2 complete circles
Small circle radius (1A+2B) = 1
Large circle radius (1B+2A) = 2.5
