Retract during Pocket

Post by sage »

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 have missed something or under some conditions where it acts differently.

With pocketing it will lift to safe Z. The problem is that for pockets with islands it could need to rapid over those islands.
