Well, I can't imagine using G71 if you did have CAM software.
(Fusion360 is partly why I lost the incentive to convert my G71 remap
to native code)
But a chamfer is easy to hand-code, and R-format arcs are simple too.
I think that the objection to R-format falls down in lathe code where
they are typically exactly 90 degrees.
