Re: Question about angular and linear feedrates

Hi Alan

but the part program isnt using a radius value
the 'A' move is called out in degrees so those are the
units it should use for the velocity interpolation

I would rather have the control do what its told
instead of letting it assume anything (we all know what
happens when you assume something ;-)
