I had a much longer reply to an earlier message but this is better, (shorter and more to the point).
Believe it or not the people who buy controls from the likes of Fanuc and Mit have provided feedback which has guided the development of those controls over the years. If you users did not find it useful to be able turn off such strict adherence to the G-code they would not ask for it or pay for it. Having to rewrite a program because you want to use a 1/2 end mill instead of the 3/8 the programmer was thinking of so they put a 0.219 rad into a few corners, is a waste of time. Particularly when for most parts, such inside rads just do not matter much. Have you read a Fanuc or Mit programming manual to see just how this type of thing has been handled? No need to reinvent the wheel, round ones have proven to be the best for almost every use. At 04:23 PM 8/18/2008, you wrote: >Gentlemen, > I agree with Terry.
