Like many engineers, I'm always looking to design-out potential problem areas. Getting back to corner radii in 'fit' type pockets, I prefer the relieved corner approach to trying to control min/max radii. (see attached) If you design (if feasible) the corner such that even a non-radius 'male'...- emorrison
