Corner Types

External Corners

Sharp - creates a sharp corner.
Round - creates a round corner.
Loop Radius - cuts a corner using a loop of a specific radius.
- % - changes the Radius box value from a specific radius of the loop to a percentage of the tool diameter.
- Radius - sets the size of the loop radius.
- Min Angle - sets the minimum included angle of a corner for which the selected Corner Type is applied.
- Max Angle - sets the maximum included angle of a corner for which the selected Corner Type is applied.
Loop Length - cuts a corner with a loop whose size is determined by the value entered for the length.
- Length - sets the length of the line segment that goes beyond the corner. A loop is then created tangent to both lines.
- Min Angle - sets the minimum included angle of a corner for which the selected Corner Type is applied.
- Max Angle - sets the maximum included angle of a corner for which the selected Corner Type is applied.
Triangle - cuts a corner with a triangle whose size is determined by the value entered for the length.
- Length - sets the length of the line segment that goes beyond the corner. These lines are then connected with another line, making a triangle.
- Min Angle - sets the minimum included angle of a corner for which the selected Corner Type is applied.
- Max Angle - sets the maximum included angle of a corner for which the selected Corner Type is applied.
Bisect Line - relieves a corner by extending a line outward from the corner and then returning to the programmed path.
- Length - sets the length of the line segment that bisects the corner.
- Min Angle - sets the minimum included angle of a corner for which the selected Corner Type is applied.
- Max Angle - sets the maximum included angle of a corner for which the selected Corner Type is applied.
