8.5.2 3D tool radius compensation: peripheral milling, face milling
Peripheral milling
The type of milling used here is implemented by defining a path (guide line) and the
corresponding orientation. In this type of machining, the shape of the tool on the path is not
relevant. The only decisive factor is the radius at the tool contact point.
