But this would make an interference of 17.5 deg. at each side as the control point tries to interpolate the radius.

If I understand what you're trying to achieve, I'd probably go for a MDT (Multi-Directional Tool).

APT do ones that use WDN inserts - https://www.shop-apt.co.uk/external-...serts-apt.html


You can't hog metal like you can with dedicated tools, but they're ideal for profiles that would otherwise need a change of tool, but material removal/being as fast as possible are not the top priorities.

Edit - APT also do MGMN style - https://www.shop-apt.co.uk/external-...n-inserts.html which would also work. In fact most grooving tools can be used for light profiling/turning provided the insert is clamped in place.
