My MAXNC software claims to have

"TOOL RADIUS COMPENSATION "G" codes (G40, G41, G42)"

and the Program by Doug Yeager "CNCPRO.EXE" does not have this. I
prefer the Yeager program, it's much more logical in it's user
interface.

What is "TOOL RADIUS COMPENSATION " how can I see the difference
between the results of with and without it...

The kind of things I do, I have not seen any difference... Dumb Fat and
Happy... but would like to understand this, what am I missing...
