ool Compensation
Radius compensation: Machining corners
Outside corners:
If you program radius compensation, the TNC moves the tool 
around outside corners either on a transitional arc or on a spline 
(selectable via MP7680). If necessary, the TNC reduces the feed 
rate at outside corners to reduce machine stress, for example at 
very great changes of direction.
Inside corners:
The TNC calculates the intersection of the tool center paths at inside 
corners under radius compensation. From this point it then starts 
the next contour element. This prevents damage to the workpiece. 
The permissible tool radius, therefore, is limited by the geometry of 
the programmed contour.
Machining corners without radius compensation
If you program the tool movement without radius compensation, you 
can change the tool path and feed rate at workpiece corners with the 
miscellaneous function M90. see "Smoothing corners: M90", page 327.

Caution: Danger to the workpiece!
To prevent the tool from damaging the contour, be careful 
not to program the starting or end position for machining 
inside corners at a corner of the contour.
