Could that "48.6" waaay on the other side of the window be the plunge rate?
Yeah, it looks like the interface doesn't stretch very elegantly.

Yeah it's still there way to the right. At first the metric units threw me off. I was looking for it and saw the 48.6 across the screen, but quickly dismissed it because I could never plunge that fast in ANY material in IPM :-).
Thank you guys. I did not see it for the heck of it. I was quite in a rush (customer needed 3 steel forming tools within about a day). Just came up with my own number and it was fine
Glad to hear you got everything under control. If I can't get a calculated value I typically plunge center cutting carbide end mills at <15% of whatever the last successful horizontal feed at full diameter DOC was. Anything more than that is usually a recipe for a fried end mill unless my horizontal feeds are way off.
