Hi all

Am a bit new to the CNC game and have recently aquired a large format machine that is not running quite as i want it to; maybe someone can assist please?

Subject line refers; yesterday after many restarts the machine was running at 6000mm\m and cutting long spline toolpaths (Cutting a 3D pattern) without any sweat or much jerking, today after the start I could not get it to do the same. Overriding the feed rate to 200% from a 2400 baseline shows the increased speed in the 'F' DRO, but this is not reflected in the actual speed DRO; it maxes out at between 600-800mm\m. I suspect it has to do with the CV Mode, but am not able to use the CV button on the program run screen; have looked under the settings screen but no luck so far; am I missing something obvious? I would like to get out of what seems to be the 'exact' cutting mode; am running a roughing program for a 3D pattern and accuracy is not that critical.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
