Has anyone set up two dia. data information for 1 tool? ex Tool3
offset 3 and Tool3 offset1 For two cutter compensation diameter sizes on one end mill. We did this all the time in Fanuc and other controls when climb milling up one side of a slot with one cutter compensation G41 on and then climb milling down the other side with another cutter compensation g41 on. This works great, the operator can set the slot location on one cutter compensation, and set the slot size on the other cutter compensation.
I just do not know how to do it Heidenhain style in ISO. Any ideas, and no I do not wish to program at the control with .H programming, even tho this control is stronger at this.
thanks

Go to your tool table... highlight the tool (T3) you want to use the different offsets...make sure you have edit on ...then insert line button..tool number T3.1 is added below the original tool...then call T3.1 with your different offset assigned to it...
