Dear John,
Sorry if you had dealed with before. Chillipeppr is fine for milling aluminum holes. But I didn’t find CW direction option nor a fine plunge rate between passes. On aluminum, the milling tool suffers!
Best Regards,
David
ChiliPeppr is just a sender of Gcode to your controller. So if you wanted to generate CW directions or fine plunge, it would be your Gcode path generation software that does that, i.e. Fusion 360 milling path generation.

Hi John !
Thanks for reply. I understood. I manually changed on libreoffice via find & replace and it looks fine. Even it runs well on camotics:

But, if you find any way ot authomatize, it will be helpful.

Do you not need decimal points on those without? I’m new to this and not familiar with gcode that runs without them, all industrial code I’ve used for 17 years defaults to Z.0005 if Z5 is given.
