    Mach3 - Feed Rate

    Hi all,
    I have an NM-145 that I bought during the closeout sale and Novakon sent me the Mach3 xml file for the mill.

    Is the feedrate shown on mach3 in IPM? Say if I type in
    G01 X3 F2

    Does it move the X axis at 2 inches per minute?

    Or if not, how do I find the conversion?

    Thank you.

    If your native units are set to inches, then yes, it should be 2 ipm.
