Drilling

Post by metalfixer »

I have very limited knowledge in SheetCam, I can usually mill drill and tap
and finish a part.
Using Mach4 on a mini mill.
I would like to speed things up by having the drill bit rapid travel in
the Z axis to just above the surface, and then drill at the feed rate.
Is this possible with SheetCam?
Thanks,
Larry

By default SheetCam will rapid down to 0.5mm (0.020") above the start depth. It then feeds down from there.
