When you create the toolpath in LazyCAM, select the Layer, the Tool, and the Cut. The top box in Cut (Rapid Height) is where you control the distance the tool will retract above the stock between passes. I usually set mine to 0.1" to keep things moving without wasting a lot of time moving up to 1.0" the Cut Start depth (middle box) should be set to 0.0" and the Cut depth (the bottom box) should be set to your desired cutting depth. |
