I guess I was not entirely clear. I need to have the M7 and M9 commands happen WHILE the cutter moves along the X or y axis. It must start and stop while the mill head advances without pausing. Specifically, I need the M7 command to happen at the beginning of an G01 command and then the M9 command to happen before the end of the g01 run, IE without stopping the movement of the mill head along the X or Y axis.
I am not using the M7 and M9 for cutting fluid, -it is for a different application. When I add the M7 or M9 commands anywhere in the code, the mill head stops momentarily while the commands are carried out. Is there a way to avoid this?
thanks,
