  1. Very interesting thread. If I understand correctly, the plate will warp less if I drill a hole and contour out a thru pocket than if I use pocket and ramp my way thru it?
  2. with block font i use modify, break, draft/line. in toolpath i use contour. window around entities. in toolpath parameters use ramp, comp off, no lead in-lead out and xy stock=0
  3. check rapid retract in the dialog box for that op. also that would happen to me when retract rate was set to 0.0
  4. Why not use surface, rough, pocket and let the cutter helix in?
  5. How much post-processor editing goes on out there. I rarely edit my programs... sometimes my operators will tweek in a spindle speed or feedrate but, in 99% of the files don't get touched. Maybe I need to get out of this cave and get into the "real" world, it's just so 'comfy in here though
  6. If the tool carousal/turret is vertical versus horizontal with the tool change arm, insert a T_2 in the code before the tool change line and the carousal/turret will index
  7. If it's g-code programming try a G8 at the beginning of the tool/program
