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...

Thanks Les: That's the work around I applied. I haven't done the work yet because I wanted to be sure there wasn't something else in the program I was missing. But it's nice to know that I have Sheetcam figured out enough to come to the same solution. I wanted to take light cuts so I ended up with a...

I'm wondering if it's possible to mill an outside profile that stays at a constant Z-depth and only reduces the profile in diameter / size. The amount of cut on each pass around the profile would of course be programmable. In particular I have a square(ish) land on top of a cylinder. The height (dep...

Excellent. Thanks.

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...
