Max feedrate

Post by Piet Versleijen »

Hello,

Where can I set the feedrate when I use only a drill to make a hole patern.
Now sets Cut2D automaticly the feedrate on 2400 mm/min.
My own build router can do a feedrate of max 1800 mm/min.
I use the Mach-3 postprocessor.


Regards,

Select your drill and set the feed rates inside this tool window. That will give cutting rates.
All G00 moves will be at the max your machine can move and not at any feed rate.

John,

The toolwindow has no field for the feedrate when a Drill is selected, only the plungerate is visible.

Below the G-code that Cut2D generated for two holes:
On line N80 it gives a feedrate of F2400.
In other G-codes when a mill is selected it gives on line N80 the feedrate that was given with the mill in the toolwindow.

Hello Piet,

I believe the F2400.0 on line N80 will be ignored because line N60 specifies a rapid G00
move, that forces the controller to run at maximum feedrate the machine can achieve.

N50G00G43Z30.000H3
N60S12000M03
N70G94
N80X0.000Y0.000F2400.0

The Plunge Feedrate specified for the Drill is set for each of the drilling operations.

We will look at the pp to see if this F2400.0 feedrate can be removed from the pp

Tony
