1/4" tool = 2 passes at 300ipm
1/2" tool = 1 pass at 800ipm.
What I showed was not a leadin along an arc, but a leadin prior to the arc. Any control can do that move.
We don't use leadins like that, because we are cutting parts out of a nested sheet, and there is no room to enter at 90°. So we ramp in at a 3°-5° angle in between parts, to maximize material usage.
