Jared, A milled pocket will have a fillet in the corners at least equal to the radius of the cutter used but that does not make it a requirement to describe a fillet to be able to cut it. I like to use G41/G42 during even the roughing of a pocket. When I rough a pocket using cutter comp in LinuxCNC I must describe a fillet for EVERY change of cutter direction. This is not necessary for efficient roughing and is a pita.
