I read somewhere that by changing the tool diameter that you would creep up
on the final outline, but I don't know enough to say how it works, maybe some
others will elaborate. I think it is when the software CNC sets up the
offset, for a given tool diameter, and thus whit a tool diameter entered it
will cut at different offsets from the desired outline. I could also be
completely wrong.
