When I finish cutting, the torch air continues for 10 seconds to cool the consumables. If the finishing position is at the edge of the table then a lot of coolant splashes on to the floor. I know SheetCAM has a Park function but it is relative to the work zero XYZ position of the torch. I often move my zero work point to cut the next part which means the park position moves also. I would like to have the ability to set the park position to an absolute machine position and have it move the torch there for a specifiable amount of time then move to work zero. I realize this would require machine limit switches to set a consistent home reference position. BTW - my CNC mill has a similar capability.

DID YOU PARK AFTER CUT? FIND A WAY TO MAKE IT HAPPEN?
I know nothing about Sheetcam but apparently under Job Options, there is indeed a park feature.
I just quickly move the torch to a safe place using the keyboard arrows. It suffices.
