Here what I made before, just for fun. Yes, this is the proper solution (X7). Maybe someone will find it here once and it will be a good point to start... Or... DO NOT copy/paste directly into your post, I just wanna show an example, which work with every toolpath in every case. The answer may hidden somewhere here...

^^^ You can also do a huge amount of work with an 1/8" ball nose...

I cannot think of anything other than using the 2 machine groups. I thought I was going to be able to come up with that before you, until I got to the end of your post.... Some day...... some day

the only thing I have done in the past was organize by material....ie wine rack 1 & 2 are for titanium...3&4 aluminum...ect. 240 tools is not enough. 400+ then we are talking

Would it be possible to modify my Peck drilling, set to output in long code, to give me option on feedrates for retract and return? I would like something like this: G1 Z-4.0 F5. (DRILL FEED) G1 Z0. F50. (FAST FEED OUT) G1 Z-3.8 F25.(SLOWER FEED BACK IN HOLE) G1 Z-4.3 F5. (DRILL FEED) . Second part of my question, If this can be accomplished. Would this information be posted to the NCI file or only to final NC code? As I I am using third party posts.
