Definition
Tool positioning when leading and retracting.
Lead in and lead out lengths
These lengths depend on the strategy used. If tangent is chosen this "length" is in fact a radius.
Look at the image above:
The lead in is Normal with a 5 mm lead in length.
The lead out is Tangent with a 2 mm lead out length (a radius).
