Using eoffset functionality - I created a small hal component that
calculates a polygon based on the tool orientation - moving x and y
accordingly..  It is based on work that andy did on his lathe.

You enter tool radius, number of sides, inscribed radius of the polygon.
(still a work in progress - I don't have a way a easy to set the tool or
polygon orientation.)

based on this formula

I forgot to copy my current code off the machine..  will this week.
