A major problem with two of our Fanuc machines is that they lack the corresponding option and thus the resulting diameter of circular interpolation always vary depending on feed. G61.1 eliminates this variation and does not affect positioning accuracy because it is disabled for rapid movements.

So are there reasons not to keep it on all the time?
 
I run it all the time for all milling operations. If you're using Matrix control you can use cutting level control to adjust behavior and on Smooth controls you can use Smooth Machining Configuration (SMC). G61.1 also allows the machine to feed at the rapid rate of the machine, without it you are capped at 8000mm/min or 315 in/min.
