I was wondering..Is it possible to have the plasma torch pierce holes in the center of a circle without having a lead in/lead out cycle? The idea would be similar to a peck cycle on a drill. Using a scribe to plot hole centers is ideal but my machine isn't that advanced yet.
Thanks!

I've created a tool path within sheet cam, and the simulation tells me it will take about 20 seconds to complete the tool path. When I run the g-code in mach 3 the program takes significantly lo...
