Do you mean jog the z down to height then press the button and keep it down then jog to do a cut say about 50mm

Yes, at least 2 or 3 consecutive cuts of 10 to 20mm, or 50mm.

Yes. Just tested. I can jog the Z down to cut height press the button (and keep it pressed) it will pierce and then I jogged for 150mm several times.

It will even pierce from 4mm above the 3mm steel and cut

Were those cuts or just pierces ?

Yes as I said above 150mm cuts

Thank you.
Did you also fix the pierce and cut height, as Phill noted they were reversed.
Pierce height 2 to 3mm, cut height 1 to 1.5mm.

No. but I will cut height is 1.12mm for 3mm steel that give me a good cut with very little dross and a sq. edge.
.
I will make the pierce height 2.5mm.

Do you think that could make a difference.
