Rounding corners

To me the weird thing was that some of the corners were rounded, but others weren't. In fact, some of the corners that were not rounded were more acute angles than the ones that were. I'm not sure why the algorithm would do it that way. For the cut that I'm currently working on, a full stop doesn't slow things down too much. The cut is taking around 12 min and comes to a full stop 36 times... I'm guessing adding less than 10 seconds.

I will run a test with G64 P0.1 Q0. vs G61 and time it. That would be interesting.

Stopping with a laser sounds like a good way to cut through the bottom of the machine :-)

I ran a test using G61 and it took 14:03. Then I switched to G64 P0.004 Q0.004 and it took 14:11. (0.004 inches is close to 0.1 mm).
