Keep tool down

Hello

 

Has anyone ideas how I can keep tool down and cut pieces using 2d contour.

 

I am using tool 4mm and gap between pieces is 4mm. I want cut pieces just as fast as possible without any extra Z moves.  But I cannot jump from one piece to another without Z move. Keep Tool down not work.

First off; would you be able to share your Fusion file here?
File > Export > Save to local folder, return to thread and attach the .f3d/.f3z file in your reply.

 

Secondly; "common line cutting" isn't something that the 2D Contour toolpath is capable of. If you have multiple contours, it will (if possible) create a toolpath for each one of them.

Based on your image above, how do you plan on cutting out that dogbone shaped cutout and separate the adjacent part, using one pass?

There's no conceivable way to get this all cut out in one continuous cut, or link safely between passes. A retract is needed to reposition as required.
