G02.2/G03.2: Involute interpolation
Interpolation along an involute circle (involute interpolation), used in gear manufacturing.
For reference only: syntax changes with the control, the post-processor and the machine parameters. Check the official manual and run a simulation before cutting. Legal notice.
