I may be dead in a week or two by virtue of freezing to death here in Ohio, can you have it later today :D[/quote]
Wait until you have to blow snow with a cabless tractor when it's below 0 (F, not C) and 20 mph winds.

You just need a better sweater and pair of long johns, Ken :)

John,
That is theroetically correct but most of the newer CNC machine post have circular out put selection in Full, Half, quarter and Arcs as Lines, Full dramatically decrease the number of code lines.

How they do it I don't know.

Hi Jim,
Unless I missed something in my math classes - there is no such thing as a mathematical arc - its all just a series of straight line segments.  If the segments are short enough you can't see them without magnification.

Hi Jim:

  I do have on my list a Arc interpolation routine to replace segments with arcs where it can, so we'll see how that goes.

Its seems slicing is osmething many want... So Im adding widgets now to my rather raw interface to allow you to get
what you need for slicing.. Probably a week or two..
