You may be using the wrong post processor, or the tool may not be setup correctly. I you look at the post processor with the edit function and look at the "On Open Down" section there needs to be wording about pierce height and pierce delay, so these are put into the G-code.
Also the tool setting needs values for the delay time and both pierce height and cut height and they should not be the same, pierce higher like 0.150" and cut 0.060"
