Something else to try is copy and rename your post like (no arcs mori seiki) and have your dealer turn the arcs off in that new post. Use it for 3 axis stuff. I have 3 moris with that control and have the same issue with small arcs.
One MSX 501 control has a nice lookahead feature if I remember to turn it on. When cutting circle mill paths its nice to have arcs though (arc post).
Just a word of experience (BAD) here. I like to rotate my geometry or flip not mirror. Once I moved to mill-turns and drilling od holes and face holes mirroring got me in a lot trouble. OD holes in the solid models mirror also and parts needing a hole at 15 deg will end up at -15 deg . The utility is plus 1000 for this reason also .

YES. I had the same problem with a Mori dura center with a fanuc control.I never got an answer back to solve the problem with the tiny arcs.Go with lines all the way.You will have to change your config file to enlarge minimum arcs for the future.(just in case it might pop up again)
I was trying a method used with tough alloys and stainless sandvik had on a web site.Entering the part on an arc outside the part to cut depth.
Just testing but it works nice.
I USED CENTER BUT IM NEW AT THIS.I KNOW CORE STARTS OUTSIDE AND WORKS INWARD.I JUST GAVE IT A SHOT AND I LIKE IT.YOU HAVE TO PLAY WITH THE BOUNDARY TO FIGURE IT OUT.
I USED SURFACE HIGH SPEED CORE ROUGHING AND ADJUSTED THE CONTAINMENT TO LEAD IN AND OUT WITH A FILLET.THE MATERIAL IS STAINLESS 304 SO THE FILLET HELPS WITH WEAR.THIS IS WHAT I GOT.
I have the same problem with small arcs.I had to set my post to (points only for 3d work).My dealer recommended this and the problem was solved.Sadly code is much longer.Certainly try above first.
