I remember Jim Colt talking about going through and pre-piercing a job then change consumables to actually cut it.
Seems like it would be good for thicker plate.
Is there a way to do this in Sheet Cam? I have been searching for a while but haven't found it...
Thanks, Steve

Re: Pierce only?
Not until Les makes a post processor for it.. Keep adding to the post, and Les will get around to it... He has been very good at improving SheetCam from the start...

Re: Pierce only?
Thanks, Les..
I can't test it out for real at the moment, because I am working on upgrading my Z rail..
It's funny after all these years, nobody really asked for this feature? Like always, dealing with You, and SheetCam is one of the best experiences on the net.. Awesome support from day one..13-14 years for me...
Thanks, again..
