Facing entry and exit points

I wanted to get other ideas than the way I solve this problem

Scenario?

material is 10" on the X and 5" on the Y.

Cutter Diam is 6"

Cutting speed is 10 ipm

Ramp and pluge speed it 40 ipm

The problem:

There is no fields for telling 360 to begin cutting speed before touching the material.

As is stands it enters the material at ramp speed then slows down to cutting speed.

The point that it begins the cutting speed is based on the tool centerline.

As a result I get a nasty cut the first inch or so then the nice cut the rest of the way.

 

The only way I have found to crutch this is to lie and enter the cutter as 8 inches.

This way it makes the down turn and slows down to cutting rate just before it touches the material.

I also can slow the ramp rate down but that really sucks up the time. 

Any other way?

 

My pics are not dead accurate. I just put them up to give you the idea.
