Estlcam drill pecking?

Software / Firmware EstlCAM
1

Hey ive finally got DOC and feedrate for aluminium on my lr3. I have a final problem where it seems that 0,5mm plunge is too much and the 1/8 upcut bit clogs only when plunging. Runs really well otherwise.

My question is how do you set up plunge / drill pecking in estlcam? I need to peck 0,1mm at a time for it to not clog (cant evacuate chips fast enough)

How do you guys otherwise get around the issue?

Best regards

In the tool properties you can set the depth per pass for drilling. Far right portion of the properties. This doesn’t affect the speeds and DOC on the main tool page.

If you are talking about the initial plunge of a cut, change the angle from 90 to 45. It will then not drill sraight down and more.
