I've got a question about posting (I think).
The post for my Bridgeport BOSS 8 (I actually use the BOSS 5 post because it's all that's available for V24) outputs peck drilling cycles as canned cycles. The post as delivered from Bobcad gives the Z depth as incremental but it doesn't move the tool to the clearance plane, so it just drills air.
I changed it to output absolute Z depth, which as I understand it will work but will peck drill air from the Z home.
Is there any way to get it to rapid down to the Z clearance before starting the first drill cycle?
