There's some good advice in the "Best Practices" section of the manual: http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/main/index.html#SECTION00800000000000000000 It mentions precision for the arc checks. Also it says to prefer center format (IJK) arcs. This is contrary to Jon's advice to use R format. Jon is right that R format is less likely to give an error. However, because of this it is also less likely to give you the arc you want, especially if your arc is nearly a semicircle or nearly a circle. IJK format, once you give correct precision for the points, is the best way to exactly specify the arc you want (even if it's a full circle).
