This value defines the feed per revolution to be used from the starting point to the first point of the tool path.

Lead out feed rate

This value defines the feed per revolution to be used during the lead out movement at the end of each cut in the rough cycle (for example when the lead out is defined as perpendicular or tangential in the 'lead in/lead out' tab)
