Hello, I have a few problems that you guys can help me out on since I'm still a novice.
1. What should I set my feed rate as in madCAM when making the G code for cutting plastic/machinable wax? I tried changing it from 11 to 50,100, and 500 all of which showed very little increase in speed. What are the units for the feed rate?
2. When I click GOTO Z to go home, it homes the X and Y axis and then the Z. I hadn't thought about it until I clicked home after a test engraving and it put a nice groove across my work. :withstupi haha. Is there a setting to change that?
3. For some reason, I can't get the mill to make the correct size part. Not even within 25%. Example. I draw a pocket in rhino3d that is 1" by 1", extrude it down .1". Then I make the tool path and then the g code, load it into mach3, and run the code. the pocket comes out to about .25"x.25" square. What are all the settings I need to change?
Thanks
TaylorN.
