Title: Mach3 MDI feed rate is very very much slower than Step per unit feed rate
Post by: kera on March 30, 2022, 10:37:50 AM
If anyone could help me.
I have reached the stage of running Gcode commands using the MDI input
i have set up the step per unit and the distance moved and feed rate is all good
My problem is when i select the MDI screen and enter X10, the cnc moves my X axis so slow i could make a coffee and drink it by the time it reaches +10 in the X axis DRO box and moves the actual X axis on the cnc 10mm.

can someone please tell me what am i doing wrong.

If you are using mm then on a mill you would enter G01 X10. F100. so the feed is set to 100mm a minute.
