Biarc interpolation tolerance is maximum distance between path and it approximation.
If distance between path's segment and it's approximation is greater than biarc interpolation tolerance the segment will be split into two segments.

This function creates several Inkscape path offsets to fill original path's area up to "Area radius" value.
Outlines start from tool_diameter/2 to "Area radius" with tool_diameter steps.
Fill in "Area radius" and press apply.

Cutter shape function is a function which defines shape of the cutter. Some simple shapes:
45 degree cone: w
cone having 10 unit height and 3 unit diameter: 10/3 w
sphere having r unit diameter: math.sqrt(max(0,r**2-w**2))
ellips having r and r*4 unit diameter: math.sqrt(max(0,r**2-w**2))*4

Press apply to create three control points. The transformation (offset,scale,rotation in XY plane) of the path will be automaticaly calculated depending on this points.
You can apply transormations to this points, move them. Just make sure that they are not on one line.
You can modify coordinates that are in the brackets right in the image usin text tool.
Initial scale is helpfull if you want to use mm or inches.
For mm set Initial scale to 3.543307087
For inches set Initial scale to 90
