    So keep in mind I've never used UCCNC, but I have a question anyway. Doesn't UCCNC run in mm, or does it have a option some where to set it to inches? Maybe that's what is making it not run at the correct speed for the G0 moves? But it wouldn't make sense that the cutting feed rate would be correct. Maybe read up on the manual or one of the guys will double check your settings? Is there a menu where you set it to mm or inches? Maybe post more of your set up screens and a report for the guys who know about UCCNC to double check your settings?


    And thanks for letting me know about the ballnutz I'm thinking pretty hard about converting over since I'm not a fan of the rack and pinion drive that is on my machine. I would just need to get some gear boxes for my motors so I can keep the gear ratio I have currently.

    As far as I know, there is no selection, it runs in metric only.

    Overall gearing on rotating ball nuts is higher (more servo rpm for a given distance) than on the RP system. No need for gear boxes.

    No the units can be for whatever you setup the steps per unit values.

    Yes, my bad. Software runs in units and you set up the units to inch or metric.

    Olf, then how come that the machine runs slow to the cut but runs the 360 ipm when cutting?
