I'm doing some programs for a CNC vertical turret lathe using Siemens NX6. The post processor I'm using is Lathe_2_axis_tool_tip. The machine runs with a Fanuc controller is a Oi-TD series
The Program seems to run fine but when you check the actual part every dimension on X axis is half of what it needs to be. The machine, because it is a lathe is using diameters and apparently all the information I'm getting on the post is using the radius so the result is that I'm getting half the cuts.
Is there a way to setup the program to produce the post in diameters?
Or does anyone have a better post processor I could use?
