Oxy/Acc Torch Delay was created by BigJohnT
One of the guys on the IRC was wondering how to do an adjustable on the fly pre-heat delay for his Oxy/Acc torch. After some discussion and suggestions I came up with this example using digital input, digital output, and oneshot.

M62 P0 (turn on the delay)
Z-1 (gotta move after M62)
M66 P0 L1 Q25 (wait for delay to finish)

Enjoy
