How Turbo PMAC Removes Compensation
Turbo PMAC gradually removes compensation over the next LINEAR or CIRCLE-mode move following
the CC0 command that turns off compensation. This lead-out move starts at a point one cutter radius
away from the intersection of the lead-in move and the first fully compensated move with the line from
the programmed point to this compensated endpoint being perpendicular to the path of the first fully
compensated move at the intersection. Note that few controllers can make their lead-out move a
CIRCLE-mode move. This capability permits releasing contact with the cutting surface very gently,
important for fine finishing cuts.

Inside Corner
If the last fully compensated move and the lead-out move form an inside corner, the lead-out move starts
directly from this point to the programmed endpoint. When the lead-out move is a LINEAR-mode move,
the compensated tool path will be at a diagonal to the programmed move path. When the lead-in move is
a CIRCLE-mode move, the compensated tool path will be a spiral.
