Re: Pierce delay not always working.

for command cnc you are also best to ask on the CandCNC forum as they will give you good support or ideas of what the problem may be: https://www.candcnc.net/supportforum/index.php it is their software afterall..... gcode is just a script..... provided G4 Pxxxx is there the machine should stop and w...

I frequent both forums, you can PM you problematic file / post the gcode and someone will try to help either here or over at plasmasider.

once you've created the snippets just remember to save the toolsets
