Hi Leigh,

I have emailed you to ask for your FastCAM license details.

When the cnc is processing a pierce, typically M03 or M07, they are typically configured to wait until full pierce is established before moving on to the next line of NC code, built-in to the controller logic.

You may want to check with your supplier for whether or not it has such feature and how to configure it.

If it turns out that you need an additional block of G04 DWELL code after the pierce, that is something we can modify in your FastCAM POST, in lieu of automatic pierce handling in the controller.

thanks,

Jackson
