max penetration value

Post by Thomas strembitsky »

would it be possible in a future control nesting update for the controller to display the what the max pen value is when cutting eg (next op: pocket (max penetration 6.5mm))

the controller obviously knows what the value is already it would just be nice to see it on screen or even have it in the bottom left corner box under active tool current depth

thoughts?

I personally never run the machine in nested base view, but that's just me.

the other two people using the machine get overwhelmed in that view so that's why I prefer it unless i'm loading in straight cnc code files.
