We rookies were trying to make some chain idlers (small disks with center hole, 4 hole bolt pattern) with our X2 cnc tonight and had some trouble getting a plunge to occur. The circles would cut, but they would start at the surface and plunge 0.10 inch gradually as they cut the 360 degree circles. I am new at this, and don't exactly know how this is supposed to happen, but I'm betting we either need to do in initial plunge for each circle, or we need to do a second pass around each circle without additional plunge so we finalize the cuts. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks Chuck
