Two numbers stand out 45mm and 90mm.     Notice that 90mm is exactly twice
45.    A common mistake is to forget that moving the tool 1mm reduces the
diameter by 2mm.  Diameter is twice the tool movement. g-code specified
tool movement, not part size   Getting this backward might explain the 45
and 90 error.
