Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Simple Vector Feed Rate Setting Question

Thanks Jerry,

One more question, if I am using a rotary axis and a linear axis and I put
in a F5.0 what does this mean? Is it 5 ipm on the linear axis or some
number of degrees per minute on the rotary axis? I find that the speed
greatly varies depending on the relative contributions from the different
axes in a simple G01 move. Again, this is with TurboCNC.

Dan.
