    Question Slow rapids with Mach 3

    Hi guys,

    I'm using Mach3 and Sheetcam and my rapids are way slower than when I move manually with arrow + shift. Since my arrow- shift speed is fine I guess my motor tuning is ok and it must be a setting somewhere else?

    Any suggestions?

    Thanx

    I have the same problem: G0 rapids are much slower than e.g. jogging (even when set lower than 100%)

    Can anyone tell me if 64bit Windows is really the problem here?
