Hey all. I'm running my Bridgeport BOSS5 under Mach3 now, but transitioning from the simple Gcode of BOSS to Mach is sometimes a bit daunting. My question is, when using G81 or G83, the Z axis pops down to Z zero (top of the work surface) as the cycle begins even though I start the drill cycle at Z.050 (.050 above the work surface). With each repeat move within the cycle, the drill comes back up to .050, the X/Y moves, then the drill rapids to Z0 instead of starting at Z.050. What am I missing?
Thanks for any help here!
