I would like to equip the baseplate of my diy cnc with an array of srew-in nuts in order to be able to clamp down parts to be machined. Therefore, I have created a model of my baseplate with an array of 6x7 holes with 10 mm diameter each.
I have successfully test-milled a single hole using the adaptive/profiling path. Since the gcode for one hole is already about 5000 lines long (I am using grbl 1.1f; --translate_drill) I want to create several jobs, each containing one line of holes (7 holes). So I have added the respective surfaces to the base geometry list (see attached screenshot). However, this creates gcode which mills all holes in parallel; surface after surface. Is there a possibility to change the milling strategy so that I can mill hole after hole?
