I have a confession to make. The only real CNC experience I have had was a three month stint a couple of years ago, mostly with a Fadal. (I really liked that machine, except for the tool changer randomly getting chips under the tool holder.)
For the first run of a part, I recall reducing the feed rate and then single stepping through the program. I think there was a single step button you could activate before you hit the cycle start, so that the program would single step right from the first line. Whereas it seems that EMC will only single step after you start the program and several lines may have been executed. Does anyone have a favorite method to validate programs for the first run?
