  9. Hello everyone, I'm using a 2D contour toolpath to cut a profile along one side of a part that I'm machining, My problem is when my tool gets to the end of the chain it rapid's up and then across to begining of the chain (wasting time)How can I make the tool step down at the end of the chain. (so the tool is cutting in both directions. Hope this is understandable. Thanks
