G42

Machining center, LatheModal, group 07

Cutter compensation right (tool is on the right of the direction of travel)

Diagram: Cutter radius compensation: left (G41) and right (G42) of travel direction

Programmed pathG41 (left)G42 (right)Tool center path (dotted)Facing the traveldirection (arrow):Tool on left → G41Tool on right → G42No compensation → G40With spindle CW (M03):G41 = climb millingG42 = conventional millingOffset amount is thetool radius under the D no.
G42 offsets the tool center to the right of the travel direction by the tool radius from the programmed path. With spindle CW this is conventional milling.

◎On lathes: Tool nose radius compensation, right (used for typical OD turning toward –Z)

The same number means something different on lathes (FANUC-type G-code system A). Group 07.

Diagram (lathe): tool nose radius compensation, imaginary tip and nose center

ZXG42 nose-center pathImaginary tipWithout compensation, tapers and arcsare left undercut (orange)OD toward Z− (tool on the right) → G42ID toward Z−, face toward X− → G41
The tool tip is rounded (nose radius), so sizing with the imaginary tip is correct on faces parallel to X and Z but leaves stock or overcuts on tapers and arcs. G42 shifts the nose center R to the right of the direction of travel to prevent this (drawn with X+ up).
