Hi all im new to mach so this is probably an easy one for some of you out there.. Ok if i use my shuttle the axis moves at a good rate, however as an example if i use the mdi to input Say.. X 100 its like the axis is in jog mode and goes very slowly (jog is set to 100%), ive been configuring mach to work with the machine (boxford 260VMC) and suspect ive ticked a box i shouldnt have but where that is ive no idea?
