@terjeio any updates on this issue? This is an example with 1 mm cut, clearance, last pass 45 degree taper:

Without fix, it cut taper, then at the end of this taper it moves cutter to the center.
This is a bug to use taper minor diameter to calculate clearance, taper major diameter should be used. Or it shouldn't be used at all since it unnecessary - when we move Z to start position, it immediately clear from part because of taper.

Not yet, I have been quite busy with private assignments lately.

I have uploaded new edge versions for you to try - when a taper is selected only current and target diameter is used for the calculations - and Z length is calculated as well. I have also enabled entry of fractional degrees and I flag an error if the angle is >= 90 degrees. I have not yet implemented/verified internal tapers and the UI could be improved.

What do you think?
