Note: A cutter compensation move can consist of any X or Y move from
any position just as long as the move is greater than the amount being
compensated for.
Single-Point Thread Milling Example
The program is for a 2.500 diameter hole, with a cutter diameter of .750” a
radial value of .875 and a thread pitch of .0833 (12 TPI) and a part thickness of
1.0.
