Title: Accidentally discovered a good Mach3 feature for Plasma cutting
Post by: mechfx on June 19, 2011, 07:38:53 AM
If you set the pause time after the pierce to 60 seconds (i did this by mistake).
then as soon as the plasma stream is established if  you press Cycle start again(Alt S) then the sequence will continue to the next line of code and carry on.

I've found this handy if you are having problems establishing a cut start in heavier materials and dont want the cutting to continue untill a healthy pierced hole is established.

down side is you have to do it for each start point and pay attention....
cheers
