Retract during Pocket
Is there a way to stop the retract to safe height between successive passes of a pocket. After each pass of a pocket the tool retracts to a safe height then returns to the material for the next pass around the pocket. I'd like for it to just continue milling the pocket deeper as it goes. Perhaps I h...

milling a slot with no no tool lift
I'd like to mill a slot from one end to the other, plunge at the far end and return and repeat to depth. As far as I can see the program now mills the slot, lifts the tool to the safe retract height and does a rapid back to the beginning of the slot and starts again. Is there a way to achieve this a...
