- Delay
Enter the amount of time (in seconds) you want the tool to pause at the depth of the hole.

The drill options are very closely related to the post-processor of the CNC-controller you are using and may function differently in each case. Please contact your local dealer or SolidCAM support for information on your particular post-processor. |
