Are you using a peck drill g-code or your own routine to simulate a peck
drill cycle?

It should retract at max speed, which makes a difference.


Yes, I used peck drilling cycle and it did retract at max speed (it is
actually fun to watch). It also plunged back down at max speed also.


It *should* do that -- and switch to normal feed speed about
0.020" clear of the last cut bottom or so.

Enjoy,
