You didn't say what your tool diameter was.
Anyway, looks like the input values for X and Y define where the radius of the arc is from X and Y =0.
G90 is absolute mode, so the start of the arc is 3.3263+8.6553=11.9816+ 1/2 of the tool dia ( .25")=
12.1066 which would be the start point in absolute coordinates.
Now where should you place the tool relative to the start of the arc?
If you were to reference all home and zero the x and y axis, the machine will rapid to
the start of the arc from X & Y =0.
Now if you were to put the values of 3.3263 for X and Y=9.25 in the DRO's, then you have defined
to Mach that you are at those coordinates, and the rapid to the distance will be be shorter to the start of the arc's
