Nicolas,
You plunge down from the rapid height with a G00 ( max velocity / rapid move ) and then feed into the material with a GO1. Where you want to transition or start feeding at a designated feed rate is set in LC as shown in figure 1. You do not want put the cutter into the material at max velocity that the axis can do. On the hand, say the rapid plane was 5" up from the surface..... don't think you want to feed down for 5" at say G01 Z-5" F.1 ?
It would take a lot of time. Generate some simple code and watch the movement in Machs graphics window.....see figure T6-FIGURE 6.
For the tool you will be using you define how deep you want to cut, lets say you want to cut into the material a total of 1" deep....that's a rather deep / unpractical cut, so you can set the CUT PER PASS to say .1" and make 10 cuts to accomplish the total depth.
Go back and read the manual and pay attention to Section 8.3.2,3,& 4
