I have a project that is using a diamond drag point to etch a cylinder on a lathe. The design comes out correct but the order of moves I think is incorrect. With a spring loaded drag you need to be at the X depth before moving. The output from aspire is moving and plunging at the same time. Is there a setting or method that achieves this? Or am I incorrect in my thinking?
