OK. I've looked around and didn't see this issue addressed. If it has been, maybe someone could direct me to it. Or maybe someone could help me out. Using V9.1, in a drill, mill or tap cycle, I set the clearence to 1.0( to miss clamps) and retract to 0.1. The problem is the machine then starts the drill, mill, tap cycles at 1.0 instead of at the retract point or top of stock. If I use only the retract option, it still has the same issue. This can slow down machine cycle times horribly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

try 0.1 incremental retract, not absolute.

Tell me how these 4 items are set exactly and I will tell you why.

#1 would be checked and set to 1"
#2 would be set to .1
#3 would be set to "0"
#4 would be set to -.5
All set to absolute
Also set to peck drill
