Since I have never been able to make that work, it always claims not enough room to do the lead-in move, what happens if I do get it to work, and the code does a climb cut from one end of the piece for the real work, then re-traces at the edge of the work which would then be a dig cut, will it wreck my part if I don't move away and change the mode? Or just move far enough away to be safe, which for a .250" mill would be around .550"? Just trying to avoid surprises that would wreck expen$ive Mahogany. :) Thanks Chris.
