Yeah but I am sure the extra effort to set it up would be worth it. Just for the extra consumable life alone.

It is working. See the picture:) . The question is how to start cut from the edge not with piercing.

Yeh, we knew what you meant. I had to find your manual. I am surprised they list edge start for material that thick but the proof is in the pudding

Manually, there are to many variables to be able to automate that.
Jog the torch to the edge, set the offsets, start the cut by pressing F9 or by adding M3 at the top of gcode for that part.
Rinse and repeat .
