Maybe I'm missing something here but setting pierce time to 0 "zero" still leaves a short pause before the torch starts to travel. Is it possible to have no pause either before of after the cut? Just using the torch to etch.
Thanks,
MM
Not sure if you're using Mach, but could it not be your spindle on delay if you do? In Mach go to: Config > Ports and Pins > Spindle Setup > General Parameters. and set all to 0
