marty dazed and confused

just a rgeular 2d pocket. thanks

moring evryone i got a little problem.

i,m probraming a pocket with .252 rads in the

corners.no biggie i thought.i program it with

a 1/2 end mill.ok no problem it looks good in verify.ok they go to run the program and it didn,t post out rads just straight lines.so i post it out with a 3/8 end mill and every thing is fine.i don't know why the 1/2 em did'nt work.

i can't figure it out.any ideas?maybe a setting some where i don't see?. thanks in advance for any thoughts on this.have a good day all
