I'm working on the robot milling by using robot machining project. My tool diameter is about 6mm and the path generated is based on TCP, hence the machining is result is bigger than the geometry from CAD file. Is there anyway that I can do the tool compensation with robot machining project?

Are you importing your toolpath from a CAM software? If so, the path may already account for tool compensation.
Alternatively, if you select or create a curve in RoboDK you can apply and offset towards the side of the curve by selectingEdit path settings.

You won't be able to see Edit path settings if you loaded an NC file (such as APT code or G-code file). You should use a curve follow project instead.
What CAM software are you using? Usually, the tool diameter compensation is taken care of by CAM software.
Can you attach the picture you are referring to?

This feature was added about one year ago. You should update RoboDK to the latest version to see theEdit path settingsoption.
