    someone wanna write a program?

    would someone write a program that would take a gcode file from "ace converter" to tell the cut time based on the feed rate in the gcode file?

    If someone were to do this, it wouldn't be entirely accurate due to acceleration and deceleration. Depending on your machine, it could be off a lot.

    turbo cnc gives acceleration lengths and times. the new program if someone were to write it could take this info into account.
