If I do my own cutter rad comp, then the outline looks wrong on screen.
But I guess one can't have his cake and enjoy eating it too... I can see why it would bitch if the hole was smaller than the tool, but its not. Screw it, move to the +x point of the circle -toolrad, directly, then circle at only 20 thou radius while boreing deeper and deeper untill its thru the workpiece, leaving a nice clean hole. When done, leaving at that depth for one more full circle just for cleanup. then back to the center of the hole and withdraw the tool. Head for the next hole, wash, rinse & repeat. Thanks Jon.
