I just ran some gcode to drill a deep hole using peck drilling, but instead it just plunged straight to the bottom of the hole (no pecking). It simulates fine in my CAM software. Here is the script I used:

Drill Pecking (G73, G83) and pocket milling (G12, G13) are just partially completed and are still on TODO list in ChangeLog.txt

Thanks, I read this a while ago and slapped myself for not reading the TODO.

Is there a timeframe for the peck drilling? That is the only thing stopping me from actually switching to TNGv2, all the other improvements make it worth switching.

Peck drilling G73 and G83) is implemented and should be released tomorrow.
(Assuming there will be new version tomorrow because I'm still struggling with some context restore issues.)
