Hi, It sounds to me like you will run into a problem with G41/G42 when you get the roughing radius offset working like you want. When using G41/G42, if the tool radius (plus any diameter/radius modification for roughing) is not smaller than the programmed radius of the corner LinuxCNC will give

Way back when (79,80) I ran machine with a GE Mark Century 100 control. The control was built in 1958. No tool length offets, the zero position was adjusted with thumb wheel dials and no memory only a tape reader. Block delete was useful then because there was no program changes at the machine. If

Block delete is not used for comment lines. Block delete causes the control to ignore the line with the block delete symbol during control operation. I have seen controls with multiple levels of block delete. I have found very limited use for one level of block delete and have never used a second
