Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Simple Vector Feed Rate Setting Question

There must be an error in the TurboCNC program then. Intermittently,
depending on the relative contributions of the angular and linear axes, the
movement speed will far exceed the speed if only the linear axis is moved.
This occurs without changing the feedrate.
