By the way, I think that it is great that you let us use cutter compensation
while doing inside corners. Every one knows that these corners will have a
radius of the end mill, anyway, and this is usually acceptable when
pocketing. For perfectly sharp inside corners, after all, we would need to

No, it doesn't gouge the part outline. It moves along the path on the
specified side. Every adjacent pair of moves (whether line or arc)
cause a concave or convex corner. If the corner is concave, it
calculates a new corner

I prefer to code the part surface path, which ultimately, is the only

Sorry to be blunt, but your final question makes me wonder whether you
understand the issue.
This is about using cutter comp with concave corners. When you do
that, a fillet is left because the cutter is round. It does not

problem had nothing to do with gouging but rather using offset compensation and
rotating the axis

As far as I know, this error always, without exception, points to a bug in G
code.
Most likely you are trying to mill out some area with an end mill that is
larger than the width of the area.
You may need a smaller end mill.

I think this is a bug you have found by rotating the coordinate system
while cutter compensation is turned on.
I've fixed this by disallowing what your code does, and giving a
proper error message if you try it. Thanks for bringing
