tool radius compensation is also commonly called cutter compensation or tool nose radius compensation,depending onthe source and context.let's study figure 12.1 to see what simple tool radius compensation is.the centerline of the toolpath in figure 12.1 is to the left of the finished surface.this example contains only parallel and perpendicular lines.and full--quadrant arcs,therefore.it is quite easy to manually calculate the tool center locations,other programming situations are not so straightforward--we will have to use trigonometry to calculate the toolpath.
