    Are you posting code via computer. If so just offset your drawing with a separate line and just make a separate tool path (put these lines in a red layer so you know it is your offset). This way no math.

    I'm writing it on the machine itself, it's a 0.8 rad going into a 1.2 rad and then blending back out to a 0.8 rad
