This option is only available if a 3D model has been defined. This dimension can be changed by opening the Material Setup form. Position from and to that the tool will travel before and after machining.

The height above the job at which it is safe to move the cutter at rapid / max feed rate. To make use of this feature your Post-Processor must support the Dwell section and may require updating. With this option selected the Retract Gap value (R) is the relative distance above the height of the previous peck drill pass. However, it will not necessarily clear swarf/chips completely from the drill hole. This strategy typically requires a shorter set of plunges and retracts over the course of a peck drill toolpath because they will be constant for each peck drill cycle, regardless of the drill hole depth. Instead of fully retracting out of the drill hole, it is also possible to retract to a height relative to the previous cut depth. Retract above the height of the previous pass Thus the total retract and plunge distances for each peck drill cycle will increase as the hole deepens and this will generally result in longer machining times. With this option selected the Retract Gap value (R) is the fixed distance above the start cut depth. This is beneficial for clearing swarf/chips completely from the drill hole during the drill cycle. This option will cause the tool to retract fully out of the drill hole after each peck drill plunge. However, if a Cut Depth of 1 inch with a Pass Depth of 0.25 inch is used the hole will be drilled in 4 cycles. If the Pass Depth is greater than the required Cut Depth, the hole will be drilled in a single cycle. The retract moves are used to remove any build-up of material from the hole to help with overheating and breakage. This cycle is repeated until the hole is drilled to the required depth. It will then retract to the Retract Gap according to the retract option selected (see below), before drilling to the next depth, incremented by an additional Pass Depth. When the option Use Peck Drilling is selected, the drill will cut to the Pass Depth set in the Tool Database for the selected Drill. Hovering the mouse cursor over the tool name will display a tool tip indicating where in the Tool Database the tool was selected from. Clicking the Edit button opens the Edit Tool form which allows the cutting parameters for the selected tool to be modified, without changing the master information in the database. See the section on the Tool Database for more information on this. ToolĬlicking the Select button opens the Tool Database from which the required tool can be selected. The depth of the toolpath relative to the Start Depth. If machining into the bottom of an existing pocket or 3D region, the depth needs be entered. When cutting directly into the surface of a job the Start Depth will often be 0. This specifies the depth at which the toolpath is calculated from.
