drill step increment?

I can't seem to get this feature to work.

I am using "deep drill" to drill a .5 inch hole. I set it to .065 increments.

The resulting tool path is just .5 in one operation.

if you do a post, does it have g83 command?

g83 is peck drilling command, so it should work fine I think. I don't think the Rhinocam simulation shows the 'pecking' though.

Ahh I see. Thanks for the reply.

I just assumed based on the simulation that it was not pecking.
