Hello.
I am using the Planet CNC software and hardware and a Pakmaster 50.
When the Pakmaster is about to cut the machine starts with air before it starts to cut. So I have timed the Pierce time to be about 1.2 seconds.
But this is only on the first cut! If the next cut is just a few cm away and the machine is still blowing air the next cut fires up almost instantly.
Is there a way to setup the machine/sheetcam so the initial cut has one setting for pierce time and the following cuts has another setting?
As it is now the torch just stays in the position while cutting for the duration set above. And it burns a bigger hole than necessary.
Option for different pierce times?

This should do the trick. There is now an extra setting called firstDelay. This is added to the first pierce.
I don't know about normal but a few machines do that.Is this normal for all plasma cutters?
