Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] oscillating z....

Boy Jens,
Sounds like a tall order as you describe it..... I know that the Sign
Programs allow you to "Pounce" along any toolpath. I have not used that
in a while, but I thinl it allowed you only to indicate how long the
code dictated the "down" time along a toolpath. That, best I can tell,
is different than your desire. I think that it would be best applied in
the code, maybe with a real fancy editor install a quick subroutine here
and there. OR, you need to *build an occillating
spindle that does it mechanically.
