I have a question about G41/G42 tool radius compensation. Normally when 
you have an outside corner while using radius comp, an arc gets added 
around the corner. While this is the best technique for milling/routing 
and turning it isn't ideal for plasma/flame/waterjet cutting. With jet 
cutting the jet exit point trails behind the entry point. In a straight 
line this does not matter but when you go around a corner the trailing 
exit point tends to cut the corner. If the corner is squared off this 
gives more opportunity for the jet to catch up making the corner sharper.

Is this possible in EMC?
