Did you know that if you rotate a cutter with one or two teeth counter to
another rotating disk, at 1/2 the rpm of that disk, that you can generate
a
near-perfect polygon?? Holy ****..... You have to see it to believe
it..... brilliantly simple, profoundly elegant.... Mebbe Ig can sleuth
out
the vector geometry of this.

This page:

has a good description of polygon turning.
