    4th axis feed rate question

    I have my machine cutting at 100 ipm, but when the forth axis moves, it moves at 100 deg/min. I cannot find a way to speed that up, other than manually going through the code and adding a new feed rate to each line.

    Please help.

    thanks Ray

    Try putting a small value, like .001 in the Rotation Radius box (in Settings Alt6) , and check "use radius for feedrate" in the Toolpath Configuration box. .

    Thank-you Andrew. It took a bit to figure out exactly where you were talking about, but it is working.
