Not to throw any wet blankets here, but isn't the math already done &
available as open source within EMC? Isn't that what is available in
DeskNCRT & MasterCNC right now? Maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought
that these programs were both ports of the Linux EMC source to DOS
and that they both included G41/G42 cutter compensation. Maybe I
just have too simplistic of an outlook about computer programming and
using the chunks of code in EMC for other purposes than Linux. Why
would someone need to re-code a lot to use the routines in EMC for
another implementation of cutter comp in another controller? The
source is in the public domain & I thought that was one of the
primary reasons that it was developed, to speed the application of
the technology into the private sector.

Are developers possibly not aware that it is available?
