    Changing lead-in-out for cnc plasma cutters?

    Can anyone using a Burny Phantom control for cnc plasma cutters tell me where I can control the lead-in-out cut pattern? For example: when burning a .590Ø hole I want to lead straight into the circle from the center, and lead out with an arc. I'm trying to minimize the distortion from the pierce points to achieve a cleaner more uniform hole.

    I have software that I used to use to program a Burny 10. We ended up doing a lead in with an arc and then created a gap at the end rather than a lead out.
