Just a quick update.  You solution may be the cause however changing the freq had no effect.

I posted on the other forum as requested however the moderator could not confirm if it was a know issue until he talks to someone from Mach3.

It has been over 10 days since his last response. 

After further production runs we have determined it seems to be more then 2x the actual.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

So I take it in your system it displays the same?  In other words is this a known issue?

Hello,

My CNC machine is working correctly and cutting out my part to spec; however the display for units/min seems to be 2x the actual speed. 

See attached.  Any ideas?  I asked in the general support and Hood suggested I try here.

I'm using the latest "lock down" demo version (soon to be licensed).

When I jog one axis I get 172-176... almost exactly twice the actual value.

It looks like it's not a unit issue, but i'm still not sure what's the issue. 

My driver boards are setup for microstepping... but turning it off make the machine run slower not faster and the distance jogged is accurate.

While its milling (after the tool change) it says it's cutting at ~46.  While jogging I get ~200.

During both operations the feed rate override was left at it's default position (100%).  

In response to your last post during the first stage the machine is drilling holes not milling.  It is desired to move at full speed to the next point then move the z-axis at the slower speed.

There is no way my machine is moving in excess of 200ipm as that would clear my 12x24 table in 7 seconds

By the way thanks for your rapid responses.

What do you mean by units/dro?   I don't have any feedback connected.

Attached is the gcode.

Attached is the Gcode I ran.  It cuts out the part just fine but the section I have pointed to in the pic is wrong.
