Machining open contour corners: M98

Standard behavior
The TNC calculates the intersections of the cutter paths at inside

corners and moves the tool in the new direction at those points.
If the contour is open at the corners, however, this will result in

incomplete machining.

Behavior with M98
With the miscellaneous function M98, the TNC temporarily suspends

radius compensation to ensure that both corners are completely

machined:

Effect
M98 is effective only in the blocks in which it is programmed.
M98 takes effect at the end of block.
