Selecting the tool radius compensation: G41, G42

Functionality
A tool with a corresponding D number must be active. The tool radius offset (cutting edge radius offset) is activated by
G41/G42. The controller automatically calculates the required equidistant tool paths for the programmed contour for the
respective current tool radius.
G18 must be active.
See the following illustration for tool radius compensation (cutter radius compensation):
Programming
G41 X... Z...
G42 X... Z...
Remark: The selection can only be made for linear interpolation (G0, G1).
Program both axes. If you only specify one axis, the second axis is automatically completed with the last programmed value.
