So this would be a setting in lazycam that needs to be changed?

You're right, it does it in the straights as well. I have been using lazy cam to generate g-code but it is now obvious that I need to study g-code and how it works a little more...thanks

Ok, it didn't work. But in case i entered it wrong where would i put it in this g code? I am trying to cut a square with 4 circles inside it.

Hi All, I've just completed my CNC router. One thing i can't figure out is how to set the z-axis so it makes its complete plunge before moving in another direction. Right now z-axis, from the rapid position, stops about 0.080" from the material to be cut then ramps down to 0.000 as it travels in a horizontil direction. I'm sure there is setting i can change but after an searching most of the day in these forums and in my mach settings I can't find anything that tells me where to make the change.
