I have a question about a lathe I converted for cnc. I created a rounding tool path for a piece of 2 inch square stock 6 3/4 long using a 1/4 end mill to cut it. The problem I ran into was that once I started running the file the rotary axis rotates at one degree per second, took 54 minutes to round the part. When it rapid moves it is much faster. Is there a way to control the speed of the rotary axis or does the software control it based on the feed rate of the X asis? I'm new to rotary but having watched some Youtube videos they seem to run much faster when they cut.
Thanks,
Richard
