Unexpected Results - Wasteboard

I'm not sure this is the right place for what I'm experiencing. But I've been trying to get a new wasteboard hole pattern done and the results are a mess.

Using Fusion, I'm using the EMC post for Linuxcnc.

I have zeroed out the dimensions and heights in the tool file

One of the problems I'm having is when the tool bores out a hole, it drags out of the hole on it's way to the next hole. Yet, I've got a 5mm height for rapids.

The other issue is each row is fairly accurate in distance between holes. But when the tool moves to the next row, the row is skewed as it moves across the board.

All along I've been thinking I have a machine problem/.ini settings etc. I began to wonder if the header in the gcode post is not right for linuxcnc.

Here is the top part of the latest post I was trying to run...

What I don't understand is in the Fusion post pull down, I turned off tool change and anything else to do with tools.

I apparently don't understand what Linuxcnc needs to run a job properly. If someone could explain this, I would be grateful

If you don't set the path blending in your preamble (which I don't see one) then LinuxCNC goes as fast as possible without regard to path.

I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere! Wow! John, I'm wondering if you would like to come here for vacation, like now!

My wife and I just read this reply to my question and are so encouraged. We had a feeling there was something wrong with the gcode.

Does this mean everytime I create a Fusion Post, I need to go in and add these codes? Can I do this somewhere in one of the files? .ini maybe?

And lastly, would this lack of preamble possibly cause the issues we are having?

OMG!!!

Hours and hours and hours of searching the .ini, .hal files

OMG it's working!!!

You can put it in the INI as a STARTUP_GCODE but it would be better to add it to the Fusion Config.

There is a version of the Fusuion postprocessor here which inserts G64:
