    Return to origin

    I need to run a tool path that returns to point of plunge. That is I have a keyhole cutter that needs to make plunge, run in the +y direction 3/4 ” and return to plunge position without ever moving in the x axis. Any ideas how to do this in V24?
    Thanks

    This file will not open. I unzipped it but an error message came up.....There was a problem sending the command to the program.
