What the setting in the machine does it controls the maximun feedrate that the machine can do before overcut. You can completely set the tolerance. Under display press setting once. Hit the page down button once or twice. at the bottom of the screen you will se setting 85 with max corner rounding. See what it is. Try around .005, type that and press write/enter or F1. That should help. This adjustment can be done with the program running, so play with it.
I was wondering when I backplot it I can have it read the P time for a g82 differantly. I know technically it is suppost to be entered in as seconds and not thousandths of a second but I like entering it in my way better. Personal preference. Right now a P60 backplots out a 1 minute, but it posts as the correct time of only a fraction of a second.
We had a power surge blow up the main power card it a power surge. The machine was off but the main breaker on the machine was on. The breaker now always get shut off with the machine.
Set you top of stock to -.0001 below the top of your actual stock and then on depth cuts set it to absolute with the minimun also -.0001 below top. worked for me.

I need to program a part to drill that has a space between the two drilled surfaces, like a piece of tubing. is it possible to drill throught the first, rapid to the second and drill through the third and then rapid out without retracting between drilling motions?
Depending on the type of machine, it may be simple. Haas only need an M06 and it turns off the spindle, turns off coolant, retracts to z height, and changes tools, in that order

I had the same problem and called CNC software and they were not aware of it. I guess changing the post would work as long as you remembered to enter everything in right.
