cannot physically make a 90 degree turn at 150 ipm. If you slow
down to 25 ipm just before you get there (JIT-just in time) the
cornering will be more accurate, and the machine will take the
corner smoothly, within the limits of the strength of the frame,
mass of the assy, and acceleration required.
How far in front of the corner is a matter for experimentation, and
will probably vary with the weight of your tool, depth of cut, material
type, and desired max feed rate. In short, it is situational, and not
totally dependent on the controller capabilities. 2 axis cutting will
be different from 3 D.
Aluminum and wood will yield widely varying sets of capabilities.

interpolation. The only reason to use arc fitting is to reduce program
size for drip feeding into old controllers with limited memory. The
resulting cut from either technique should be identical within the
arc-chordal error tolerances

past the corner at which the slower feed rate is maintained to assure
that the controller does not try to reaccelerate too fast on the back side.
