Min. Radius
The Minimum Radius function establishes the smallest radius that the knife will cut and is only applicable at 2
connecting line entities. If the arc created by the closeness value is larger than the minimum radius value, then the
knife will follow the closeness value in the X- and Y-axes. This effectively keeps the knife in the material for a
smooth motion.
If the arc that is automatically created by the closeness value is smaller than the minimum radius value, then the
knife will move to the vertex point, lift, rotate, lower back down, and continue cutting. The parameters at the
keypad have little or no effect on arc commands in G Code.
