I'm just trying to cut a 0.5" deep circular pocket, then bore a smaller through-hole. This shouldn't be complicated and yet, it seems to be. I realize there are more efficient ways to get this done, but I'm trying to do it all with a single 0.3125" 2FL endmill. The code starts with a circular pocket which seems to cut just as one would expect with the settings chosen. Then it should move on to a contour profiling operation where it basically bores the smaller hole starting at the bottom of the pocket. However, the code clearly tells the mill to rapid to -0.9". I suspect that this is related to my setting the work height to -.5", but after jamming the tool into the work, the next line moves it to the correct starting point and it completes the operation. I'm really hoping that this is some kind of glitch because I can't see any intuitive problem with the way I've set this up.
Any help will be appreciated.
