Mill Wizard Feed Rate
« on: June 08, 2018, 10:28:25 PM »
I have a question about the feed rate that the wizard puts out. Everything looks good except it inserts a feed rate equal to the plunge rate just before the main G code. I have attached an example of the code. It is easy to fix just by editing it out but I wonder why it puts it there. Thank you for any insight on this.

I am not sure what you see. the comments show you have a feed rate of 322.5500 and a plunge rate of just 0.5. That sounds really strange, did you enter those values in the tool screen? I dont think the program would have calculated such values.

I dont see the code using that plunge rate anywhere.  Please give me the line number where you see  that.

If you look just after the Line "G01 Z0.0000 F322.5" the wizard inserts F0.50 just before the main run to make the cut.

OK, sorry, I missed that line. Should stop reading forums after bedtime.

the "G01 Z0.0000 F322.55 " is doing a rapid drop to the surface of the work- its still above the work, in the air, so I move rapid to save time.
Then the F 0.5 is  issued because we are at the surface and starting to plunge into the work.
The next move is the plunge to the first cut so we must use the plunge rate.

The error in the code is that we should then issue a feedrate  because we start to make X,Y moves. In fact because of the model nature of G01, all the following G01 moves will be to slow.

You want to edit the code to add an F322.5 to the line "X5.7321 Y2.7321 "

I thought this got fixed some time ago, but to be honest I have not made an update in some time. Are you running the latest version?

Hi Ron

This has been a sore for ages and was not fixed in the latest version. It would be great if you could fix it soon, thanks

Thanks for the replies. I was wondering if I was just missing something in the set up. Not a big deal to correct now that I know.

Ron I'm running 2.0.4X according to the about in help. I did download the latest version from Newfangled. It indicates version 2.0.5 in the download file name. I did uninstall the previous version first but it still came up in about saying " 2.0.4X"

I believe 2.04X is the latest. I will talk to Brian about fixing this.
