While cutting. A clamp on a water jet,i found it annoying,to figure the radius on both sides of clamp and maintaing the wall thickness through the radius. ie, 1/4 inch wide all the way around radius.

Holy smokes. One too many marts this evening? The OP is blurry to me. Time to hit the sack.

Ok i have a,inch thick piece of,steel using,a,water,jet to,cut a clamp the clamp is 1/4 wide at the radius i want,the clamp,to,maintain the 1/4 width. The radius on the outside is of course bigger than the inside. I was nust wondering the easyest way to figure that whe holding the thickness around radius

Still not sure of what your question is or what you are trying to accomplish. A sketch would be helpful. Since you are on a phone, draw one out and post a photo.
 
The position from which you would define your radius for the inside or the outside is what you must work with if the corner is 90°. If you have something more than 90° (you picked a chord/radius you wanted to work with) then you need to figure out what the radius of the chord is. Who decided on the dimension of the radius.

Edit: I read your comment again and I don't know what program you are using, CAD/CAM,etc. to enter the data, but if the center of your radius to the inside cut is 2" then the outside is 2.250".

The,problem was the width,of clamp is .250 now when i put in the radius.i wanted,it,to,stay.250 even at the,radius. Hard to draw a picture.

Okay first question: What is the inside radius?
 
Thats what im trying to,figure out you see if the clamp is .250 wide and i measure across the bend or radius it gets smaller width wise and i want it to,remain the same all the way around the bend.. See its a water,jet cutting machine part is 1 inch thick but only .250 wide. And i can make radiues anything i want but getting them both right to hold that .250 is a pain.
