T-Bone Fillet for CNC Inside Corners

The overcut sits on one wall. The other face of the corner stays square, which is why a T-bone is often the cleaner choice on a visible joint.

This file is the finished pocket contour, not a cutter-center toolpath. Import it and generate a normal inside/pocket path with the same bit. Do not offset the geometry by the cutter radius again. Always verify bit diameter and dry-run before cutting.

What is a T-bone fillet?

It is a corner relief whose arc centre lies on one edge, one radius out from the vertex. The cutter still removes a full radius of interference. It just does that along one wall instead of on the diagonal.

How it differs from a dogbone

A minimal dogbone centres the arc on the angle bisector. Both edges lose √2 times the radius, and a small bulge shows past the corner. A T-bone spends 2× radius on the facing edge and nothing on the other. Compare both on the dogbone vs T-bone page.

Where the overcut goes

Auto picks the wall that still has room after the opposite corner is accounted for. You can force X or Y in the tool above. The file you download is the finished pocket contour. CAM generates the toolpath from it with the same bit.

When a T-bone is the cleaner visible result

Shelf dados, drawer openings, and any joint where one edge is on a show face. The square edge is the one that was not consumed.

When a T-bone does not fit

The facing edge must be longer than 2× radius plus the opposite corner’s share, with 0.05 mm to spare. A short wall will not take a T-bone. Use a dogbone, turn that corner off, or drop to a smaller bit. The tool names the edge and blocks the download rather than emitting a self-intersecting contour.
