My posts show M5, not M05. Not sure why that is, but I’m not too worried about it because my machine is working fine.
I just tried the M1 trick and it is awesome! I think I will use it on large surface areas so I can reset tip height to account for material warp/machine misalignment, etc.
I found that putting M1 right after M5, caused it to stop at the end of the cut, prior to moving to the next pierce location. So I put M1 at the end of the line after the M5’s, which pauses after the machine moves to the next pierce location. Like this:
N65 M5
N180 G0 X2.0385 Y-20.431 M1
N185 M3
Great tip, thank you!
