G04 P1.2 Pierce delay time for torch to burn through.


G92 Z0.0 Zero dro - touch off complete, torch at top of plate G00 Z0.8800 Rapid to 0.88 mm (switch offset - set in post processor) Off on the Z home switch (these settings are entered in the post processor) G28.1 Z15.00 F500.0 Touch off - Z rapids down to 15mm then moves at a feedrate of 500 m/min to touch G00 X156.4147 Y346.4676 Rapid to next pierce location while torch at safe Z G00 Z70.0000 Rapid to safe Z height of 70mm Look at the following gcode portion from my latest file generated by Sheetcam: In Sheetcam the plunge rate is how fast the torch moves from the pierce height to the cut height, which in the example below is from 4.5mm to 1.5mm. Correct me if I'm wrong but the plunge rate setting in Sheetcam does not control how fast the torch moves from the rapid height (or safe Z).
