    Inverse Time feed rates

    Hi does anyone have an example of a post file S or M, that is using inverse time feed rates for a Haas 4th axis programming..?

    Thanks in advance...

    Hi machinster, talking of a Haas machine; input the correct diameter of the part to be machined in the Setting #34, and then all you have to program is something like this:

    G01 X2.500 Y0 A131.523 F5.1

    Knowing the diameter of the part, the control will interpolate both axis to reach the end of the move at the specified rate.
    Here is a partial Haas post that I used for years.

    A week ago I posted a probable solution, just in case you didn-t see it.
