Line-to-Arc Corner Rounding
 When the first move contains a CornerRad value, the CNC
automatically finds the radius center and the tangent points
necessary to calculate the tool path. The resulting tool path follows
the solid line.
Arc-to-Arc Corner Rounding
 When a CornerRad value is programmed into the first move, the
CNC automatically finds the radius center and the tangent points
necessary to calculate the tool path. The resulting tool path follows
the solid line.
Chamfering
 Chamfer between two consecutive line moves. A chamfer starts at
a specified distance before the endpoint of the first move and ends
the same distance from the starting point of the second move. To
program a chamfer move, enter a negative value into the CornerRad
field of the first move. The entered value is the chamfer distance.
The resulting tool path follows the solid line.
If the line move is already tangent to the arc move, the
CNC ignores corner rounding.
