Actually, our machinist prefers to put in a radius slightly larger for the cutter like if you have a 1/4" cutter then use maybe a .130" radius. He says this will make for a better cut because it is conturing the corner instead of just running into the corner and then switching directions. Also, it eliminates that little "squeak" sometimes when it hits the corner during machining.
