Checkbox in Configuration, General setup for Rapid

Postby ADuarte » Sat Mar 27, 2021 2:27 pm

I would like to be able to separate the feedrate override percentage from the rapid speed as an option in the general configuration. That way, I can slow down cutting speeds for different materials or worn cutting tools without slowing down rapid moves between cuts.

It could be a checkbox in the general setup screen to [ ] Tie Rapid Speed to Feedrate Override

This way you can prove out a part program by moving slowly through the whole program, and then adjust cutting feedrates during machining without slowing
down the rapid speed.

Feedrate Override should not slow down the rapids.
I don't have a machine running right now to check, though.

It does not effect the rapids. (But I think it should, at least optionally.)

OK if it was optional, but generally I would not want it to.
