Remember to set the feed rate manually or in the command, for example G1 X5 F10
(Feed 10 units/min)
If you want rapid change G1 to G0...

Indeed... I should be free-milling MDI style soon enough... Tubing for g-code/MDI tutorials and, who knew, not so difficult That is, for anything not involving curves, hahaha. What I'm designing, though, is all straight lines and holes/circles, mostly. If I can get my noodle around how circles and holes are g-coded, I should be set for a long while.... I've been designing motors and generators for about 15 years; just got thoroughly sick of trying to arrive at the much needed precision in the parts, with all my wobbling flea-market apparatus and magnifying glasses, so bite the bullet and hope for the best with this high quality"" CNC.... Got a CNC coil winding mach about 10 years ago---no g-code; just a plethora of parameters to set; can't live without it.... Gawd I'm yappy!

Thanks, Hub
