    Over-ride IPM In Mach3

    Greetings,
    When executing a post or cutting sequence, as the X4 is cutting I can over-ride the spindle speed, but can not over-ride the ipm. Is the ipm locked in Mach3 during a cutting sequence?

    Post some code.

    Post the first 30 or so lines of you G-code for us to see.

    It should work, but G93,G94 and G95 are possible culprits.
    Super X3. 3600rpm. Sheridan 6"x24" Lathe + more. Three ways to fix things: The right way, the other way, and maybe your way, which is possibly a faster wrong way.

    Bump.

    I still can not increase or decrease my feed rate when a program is running. Any suggestions would be very helpful.

    Regards.

    What version of Mach3? You should be able to adjust it any time.

    Greetings,
    Same Issue. Maybe Syil Engineering Support can help.

    Bump.

    Syil has nothing to do with this.

    On mach3 go to config>general config and check NO FRO ON QUEUE on the rightmost column. It enables changing feedrate while machining. The change will happen after the mach3 look ahead buffer empties, on a CAM file this is almost instantly.
