Some controllers require the same lead-in and lead-out for toolpaths using cutter compensation; this is a problem with the helical milling cycle in PowerMill because the lead-in and lead-out are forced to be different.
Issue
You've received an error on your controller at the bottom of the hole and cannot run through the remainder of the code. There are several alternatives to solve this issue.
Answer
Use a different cycle
The profile cycle type allows the same lead in and out in the toolpath; changing this will correct the output.
Use a different toolpath
A Constant Z style toolpath is similar to the helical toolpath and allows you still to use cutter compensation at the NC Program level.
