You mean in the GCode or manually, if GCode could you post that or if manually could you describe it a bit more.I got it to work for my job by stopping and starting the program at each point

After the peck I stopped the program and then selected run from line.

Would it be worth trying a dwell (G4) after each peck then?

It would be worth a try, If you could modify the g-code file I can test that out.

This varies by machine. On mine it says "Viewed along the direction of travel, the right side of the cut is more square than the left. So this means as Phill said, I go clockwise on outside cuts. I think Sheetcam has a setting to Reverse Direction somewhere.

From what I can gather the 'good' side of the cut is the right hand side so for inside cuts go anti-clockwise and outside go clockwise.
What sort of relay do you use for the torch on.

When it was moving to the next peck. I hit stop and selected the line going to the peck and right clicked the gcode and ran from line.

Do some machines require a delay time between torch on signals?
