then my next question is, at some point do you have to 'change sides'
and change from left to right cutter radius compensation? unless you
are milling a pocket by tracing concentric rectangles in a strictly
clockwise or counterclockwise motion, you may find the pocket contour
on the opposite side of your cutter compensation setting, like when
you approach the very end of a zig-zag pattern and reach the pocket wall.
