The system and method described herein generally pertains to generating a lead in profile that defines acceleration before a cutting velocity is achieved to perform a cutting operation and a lead out profile that defines deceleration after the cutting operation is performed. The lead in profile defines acceleration from approximately zero (0) to the cutting velocity within a duration of time in order to perform the cutting operation, wherein the lead in profile is calculated based on the cutting velocity or a type of material of the workpiece, a start location for the cutting operation, and a thickness of the workpiece. The lead out profile defines deceleration from the cutting operation to approximately zero (0) within a duration of time, wherein the lead out profile is calculated based on the cutting velocity or a type of material of the workpiece, an end location for the cutting operation, and a thickness of the workpiece.
