When machining outer corners, it may be necessary to avoid rolling around the corner in order to leave the corner perfectly sharp.
2D Contour can machine outer corners in three different ways, controlled by the Outer corner mode setting.
- Roll around corner - keeps contact with the corner throughout the motion.
- Keep sharp corner - continues the toolpath to a single point corner, losing contact with the material temporarily.
- Keep sharp corner with loop - similar to Keep sharp corner, but also performs a horizontal lead-out and lead-in at the corner.
