I was wondering if there is a good way to set cutting rates? Seems like they are calculated somehow within bobcad.

For example i created a new material for wood set to 80ipm. When i do a facing routine i get a cutting rate of 11ipm...much too slow...even in mach override feedrate to 200% its still too slow.

I realize i can go in and manually set it for each feature, but i was wondering if i need to just override the numbers in my material set up so i don't have to manually do this everytime....create a default as such for this material.

For example, currently all features of that material are 80, If i set a value of 160 for facing i'm assuming i'll get a higher cut rate defaulted.

...guess i'll just have to play around with it and see.

anyone else played around with material rates like this, that can advise?

thx
