Try this on your sim T1M6 G54G90G0X0.0Y0.0S1500M3 G43H1Z2.0M8 G98G83Z-.75R.1F5.0Q.1 X-2.0 G80M5 G28G91Z0.0M9 M30
See how all the pecks go back to the initial plane(Z2.0) Lets say there is something 1.5 in tall at X-1.0 that you are jumping over. The R is where pecks always come from the G98/G99 should control the final retract Now try this but dont look at the code just watch the sim T1M6 G54G90G0X0.0Y0.0S1500M3 G43H1Z2.0M8 G0Z.1 G99G83Z-.75R.1F5.0Q.1 G80 G0Z2.0 X-2.0 Z.1 G99G83Z-.75R.1F5.0Q.1 G80M5 G28G91Z0.0M9 M30 The second one is how I am used to seeing G98 work only it is G99 with added lines I have this part with alot of ribs to jump over and drill between the ribs and I had time to watch it so now is the first time I noticed it I wouldnt lose much sleep over this it is not that big of a deal.
