Peck Drilling not Pecking

[mrcodewiz]

I am trying to do some peck drilling for my current project. I set it up to peck 4 times but when I run the job, it just drills straight down without pecking. The simulator in Dolphin CAM shows it pecking - is there a setting in Mach3 perhaps that is preventing the pecking?

The solution to your problem is in this thread. I had the issue as well.

Cool, thank you. I will try this out tonight. Is there any difference between the two post processors that John uploaded in that thread?

[wwendorf]

Yeah, there is. Don't use the Mach3_inc.zip (or whatever it's called). Use the very last one he posted. My Syil SX3 didn't like the inc post at all. It's probably just a result of the fact that I use ramping down while cutting holes in material.

Great. Thanks again!

I should have posted this earlier but that post processor fixed me right up! Thanks for pointing me to that thread.

No problem, glad it worked for you.
