Trace off causes head to rise way high

[hookie1985]

Yea.. I was cutting some composite wood and needed the trace off but between each cut I had to lower it back to the material.. anybody know of a setting to stop that?

Did you set the thickness of wood in the cut conditions with trace off?

Yes sir

When you did the program did you do it if it was 1/2 steel so the M102 line looks like M102(HRS0.500) and than change the material thickness on the cut condition page to 1.00? Because we set up a wood condition that every time we cut a sheet the head would retract and never come down next thing you know the head is 2 inches off the sheet. The cause was it never gave me a good post some lines were missing like the M103 (pierce line).
