    rapid travel question

    how do I control rapid % in my program without touching the 50% key? ( i need rapid movements to slow from 100% to 50% at the end of the prog) is there an M code I am not seeing somewhere that will allow me to do this?

    I don't think you can do that.

    Just replace the G00's with G01's and use whatever feedrate you want.

    I am pretty sure you cannot do that.

    IOf you have an older machine you may find using G01 with a rapid feedrate is too slow but on newer machines the maximum feedrate is often the same as the rapid, or at least a 50% rapid.
    An open mind is a virtue...so long as all the common sense has not leaked out.
