I'm a SC7 mill user, with, I think, a reasonable amount of experience. I recently purchased a Tormach SlantPro Lathe and upgraded to SC8. It's working pretty well until you start a drilling operation ( or other axial tool ) after a series of lathing ops ( radial tools ). Here are the settings for this drilling op:
Under Setup:
Approach reference point: X0; Z0.25
Return reference point: X0; Z0.25

Under Links/Leads
Approach: through axial safe plane
return: through axial safe plane

I get this:
Attachment 254600

If the approach tool path is specified, the tool should just 'appear' at this point, but it seems to create this 'jog' in the approach path. I'm having a difficult time wrapping my head around this, it seems like the custom approach is getting ignored.

Anybody get this?
