4th axis gcode

I'm finally using my 4th axis ability and have it "running" on my machine.

However. When using the gCode, all my axis movements runs EXTREMELY SLOW!!!! It's got a speed setting of G06, if I change the code to G00 it of course runs faster. What am I missing in my 4th axis setup?

Thanks.

check the programming manual for your machine.
What is the 4th axis feed rate supposed to be calculated in?
Does this compare to the outputted G code?
If it does then you must have a parameter in the machine control wrong or something.

Not sure how to figure out what my 4th axis feed rate would be calculated in. No manual.

I'm sure it's a parameter issue, just no idea what parameter to even modify.
