Using Chamfers

Program a chamfer size following the address ,C to cut a chamfer between
consecutive tool paths. The chamfer word must follow a comma (,) and is
programmed in the first of two paths connected by the chamfer. The value
following the ,C address is the amount of tool path cut of each
programmed tool path by the chamfer. The angle that the chamfer makes
with the tool paths is dependant on the size of the chamfer.

The chamfer size is measured from the intersection of the two blocks. If
the block is linear, then the distance programmed with the ,C word is
measured from the intersection of the two tool paths along the linear path.
If the block is circular, then the chamfer distance programmed is applied as
a chord length on the arc measured from the intersection between the two
blocks. This applies regardless of the combination of arcs and lines to be
cut with a chamfer.
