Perhaps with routers or the like you can go zooming right along but when you cut metal you can more oftern than not easily exceed the ability of the cutter with regard to the axis speed that you can jog at.
From what we learned via experiementation, if you want to reduce follower error, SLOW THE FEED RATE DOWN. Both cut accuracy and finish (when cutting metal) are usually improved.
