Can the Mach3 Write Wizard be programmed to cut the same pattern more than once
Is there a way to set the Mach3 Write wizard to repeat the same pattern more than once in case you want to cut deeper than one cut will normally allow

Re: Can the Mach3 Write Wizard be programmed to cut the same pattern more than once

Thanks for the quick reply. More questions. Never having used multipass wizard before, can you give me some advise on using it. I guess I should save on exit when through with the write wizard then return to Mach3 and activate the Multipass wizard.I suspect I should set the Rapid height, the depth, the feedrate all to the same as originally set in the write wizard. Then the step depth should be set to the amount of desired for each step. What do I do with x shift, y shift and feedrate plunge. Finally click on convert code/exit. Am I correct
Re: Can the Mach3 Write Wizard be programmed to cut the same pattern more than once
Yes. After the write wizard, go to the multipass. X and Y Shift should be 0. Plunge can be whatever feedrate you want to plunge at.
