When you create or edit a lathe tool in fusion the options for corner radius' are not correct. Currently they are .010,.020,.030 and so on. They should be numbered in fractional sizes. I will put a link and a picture of the correct chart.

Slight correction; the radius is specified by 0, .5, 1, 2, 3 etc, which is the representation of the radius in number of 1/64ths of an inch. So a CNMG43is .03125 radius, and 431 would be .0156. The numbers that ultimately show in the data field are (unfortunately) rounded off to a 2 place decimal. If you hover over the field until the tooltip pops up, you will see that it's actually reading the proper value internally:
