Assuming it's the standard post processor shipped with the software there's nothing in there that would be doing that on it's own.

I use mach3 inch without issues

I use Mach 3 as well. I also post out several toolpaths into one file. I sometimes set different RPM for the toolpaths I have never had the problem that you describe.

Sure, that works. Speeds and Feeds are simple Speeds and Feeds are complicated If I say yes that is good and you use that to plunge 1/2 deep into something really hard and you snap the cutter, then my acknowledgement is bad. If I say yes that is good and you use that to plunge 1/8 deep into somethin...
