This feature currently undergoing Beta testing and will be available for MASSO G3 & MASSO Touch in version 5.100b software.

Cutter compensation on MASSO consists of Z Wear, G40, G41 & G42

G40, G41 & G42

G40, G41 & G42 are documented in the Supported Gcode section and can be accessed by selection the appropriate links above.
These Gcodes deal with the change of cutter diameter over time as a cutter wears down with use though they also have other applications
Gcode needs to be specially written to use these Gcodes correctly. Simply adding the codes to existing Gcode files will create unpredictable results.

Z Wear

This feature does not have a dedicated Gcode and is implemented automatically when a Z wear value other than 0 is specified.
It does not require specially written Gcode to use.
The Z wear value is entered into the F4 tool table using the Tool Edit page.
The Z wear value is automatically added to the measured tool length.
A negative Z wear value indicates that the tool is worn and is shorter than originally measured.
A positive Z wear value indicates that the tool is longer than measured.
If using Auto tool Zero the wear value is added to the measured length.
To cancel set the Z wear value to 0
If a Z wear value is present when the tool is measured using Auto Tool Zero an informational warning will be put on screen to alert the user but it will not stop machine operation.
