Circle teardrops?

1

Looking for suggestions on what to adjust to get rid of these teardrops on my circle cuts.
I’ve tried a variety of Lead In options and amperage settings and I haven’t been able to get rid of them.

Cutting with a Hobart 40i at 100ipm at 30a. Material is 16g

You can see here my tool path sweeps from within the circle…

Try adding a lead out so the torch is not decelerating beside what you want to keep. Thats the first thing id try

Wow, thanks. I can’t believe I didn’t think of that. Newbie probs. In theory that’s exactly what I missed.
Thanks again.
