How wise it is to use wear offsets for different diameters on a lathe?
…I assume that the problem is caused by a tool pressure difference from one diameter to another. Additionally, I’m assuming that as the finishing tool wears, tool pressure changes again, requiring one or more adjustments during each tool’s life. First of all, I urge all programmers to program the mean value of each dimension for all coordinates used in the program. This gives you the best shot at being able to hold size for all dimensions with one wear offset.
