    tool offset for concave convex shapes

    Any way to let Mach3 know that it has to take into account the tool diameter when machining a concave or convex shape? See drawing attached.
    G41 and G42 work left and right, I need to brake the tool advance or accelerate it depending if it is climbing or going down.
