Just a guess, but I imagine whatever the kinematic solver looks like, it is
written to work exclusively on line segments. There's likely an
approximation of an arc that's smooth enough to not create visible
artifacts on a CNC machine (i.e. line segments approaching the step size or
servo feedback resolution.) The question is whether or not klipper can cope
with such short line segments.
Not being familiar with the software named "arc welder", I originally
thought you were talking about an arc welding robot. I was disappointed. 🙂

But they do make arcs for "real" klipper and marlin just chop up theIf that's the case then its not going to be a good option.
arc in straight lines.... Just like the slicers....
So approximate an arc on vectors and then approximate vectors on an
arc.. it might even be worse...
Why did Klipper take this short cut when G2/3 was implemented ? (just to
be clear I think Klipper is amazing)
