Hi Bruno, Investigating this led me to find and fix several bugs in the NURBS implementation, which will give you a MUCH smoother wrong path when you run your test program. But that aside, you are seeing a problem because you have very different weights on your control points, and that is

[Emc-developers] RFC: Support for multiple tool offsets (aka wear offsets)

I think the general solution to the specific problem of wanting separate geometry and wear offsets for lathe tools is to allow the gcode to request any number of tool offsets simultaneously. I've implemented that in a very simple way in the cradek/multi-tlo branch on git.linuxcnc.org, and here

Hey all, this was an incorrect merge of master into the 2.6 branch. I used push --force to revert 2.6 to where it was before the merge. This means if you pulled the 2.6 branch in about the last hour, your next pull will not be a fast-forward, and you may have to use git pull --force or similar.
