    Fine but before you can cut the rectangle from a sheet you need to know what length 100% is to be in mm.
    Now you explain it it makes no sense at all.

    What about needing a near zero tool diameter?

    This code kind of works for a single tile,

    except that the inside corners will have the radius of the cutter so the square outside corners will not fit together with them.

    EDIT- yes, probably good for a laser cutter which uses G-Code, but the paths will not work for rotary tool machines because square outside corners will not fit radius inside corners

    You think that's too expensive? You're not a Model Engineer are you? :D
