Known issue with the MrFluffles post processor as of May 4 2023. Updated August 22, 2023 The post-processor is adding feed speed, cut height and a dwell command after the M200 command. This overrides the settings of the AutoFS stock picker in Pathpilot. If you picked the correct tool/settings for your material in Sheetcam this shouldn't be an issue. However, using the same Gcode for different materials will likely lead to less-than-optimal cuts. The extra dwell after the pierce operation (G16) can be eliminated by setting the pierce delay in Sheetcam to zero.
