Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: CNCpro VS Artisan

Hi to the list,

I'd like to learn more about "what we're looking for" in regards to
"look ahead". I can see that it would be nice to combine small linear
moves in the same direction, but what about cuts at right angles? I
assume the tool would have to come to a complete stop there? But on a
slight "bend", some linear motion could be maintained? Sort of a
"cosine law" thing?

Just curious.
