Feedrate Question

bearworks · Post by **bearworks** » Fri May 09, 2008 6:24 am

I machine woods, plastics and aluminum and use a Z axis plunge feed at a much slower rate than X,Y plane cutting rates. The G code allows the plunge rate then the cutting rate on the first pass but ignores the plunge rate on subsequent passes at a new Z value. Have I missed a setting? Is this a bug, Is there a technique that will allow this to happen automatically??

Thank's,

Just a thought, Do you have "Apply entry/exit at all cut levels" checked?

HTH,
