Larry,
I see what you are saying, And as I said there was never much thought put into the plunge milling squence.
Sorry I tried it a couple of times and gave up on trying to get any time savings with plunge roughing.
The thing I didn't like about it was the tool would not step away from the cut a few thousands on retract so the tool would rub back up the previous cut. The inserted cutter I was using didn't care for that and would chip the corners.
