+ | - For Linear interpolation (G1 code), CNC control calculates an angle between two line segments and modifies the behaviour depending on the angle in question (the three possible outcomes are discussed later in this manual). | ||

The important part about tangential cutting control is the ability to use the rotation axis (axis C in the X1366V profile). This is turned on by the following code that is included in the M6 macro (the M6 macro is responsible for switching between the tools): | The important part about tangential cutting control is the ability to use the rotation axis (axis C in the X1366V profile).
