Modified tool radius compensation in the Archimedes' spiral tool path

For this reason, ensuring a smooth tool path, where its elements meet the tangency condition and have the same curvature at the joining point (C 2 continuity), is a key issue in CNC programming. Spiral milling is one of the tool path strategies that can reduce abrupt changes of direction and tool repositioning.
