Unexpected rounded corners by pocket

Hello everyone,
I'm new here, my fist post, but I read long time, great forum!
My milling machine works for me since two years, I used LinuxCNC and parallel port as control board.
This year I starts to improve my machine and bought Omron VFD, Mesa 7i93, develops two interfaces boards for Mesa.
I install current version of LinuxCNC.
Today I make my first cut with machine. But I was very impressed, it was others as I expected.
My machine don't running in rectangel, it running in arc.
I create model in Fusion 360 and generated G-code.
In simulation of Fusion 360 it looks good, I uses 4mm milling cutter and I create pockets with
rounded corner with 2mm radius.
The passes for mill must be rectangel, not arc.
But my milling machine create rounded corners with radius about 4-5mm.
I try to add pictures toi my post,
has someone any idea, where I make mistake by my configuration? What is wrong?

Best regards
Berlintwin

If you open a G code file with something else it will change what is used for the next file. Best to add a good preamble to each G code file.

For example you open a G code file that has G64 with no P or Q then you open another file and expect that file to run properly but it cuts corners you might be puzzled for a while.

The best plan is to have a good preamble at the start of each G code file to make sure you get what you want.

For pockets, facing and drill speeds and feeds you might want to try my G code Generator . I'm writing it using Python3 and PyQt5.
