Lead in causes machine to stutter

After posting about issues with tolerances yesterday and trying different functions for finishing passes, I have an almost smooth tool path. The issue I'm having now is during lead ins when the z-axis is dropping the machine stutters and shakes. This also causes my machine to offset its coordinates. I'm using the 3D contour as a finishing pass. Every other part of the tool path is smooth. Is there an option to smooth the lead ins? I read that the smoothing option doesn't work on 3D tool paths, but maybe I'm just missing something.

 

Thanks.

I figured it out. I just changed the transition type under the Ramp function to No Contact.
