Roughing sequence and plunge feed

Dear all,

When using the roughing sequence to rough a pocket I see there is no option to enter a plunge feed.

When using an end mill this is essential in order not to damage the flutes.

I’ve tried entering a ramp speed and specify explicitly a ramp angle of 90° (which is the default setting).

This has no effect on the resulting toolpath. The only feed applied is the default cut_feed.

The volume rough sequence does have this option but I can’t use that sequence for this particular toolpath.

Is it possible to specify a plunge feed with the roughing sequence ?
