General Mach Discussion / Dynamic feed rate - is it possible

« on: October 20, 2014, 05:45:51 AM »

Hi fellow Mach 3 users. I´ve been using the software for just a few weeks and still learning the basic features. I´m trying to optimize the milling time by finding the optimal feed rate. But, I notice the feed rate seems to be pretty constant, even when the mill is not touching the material. Wouldn´t it be much smarter to have a rapid motion when the mill is over the material, then a slower, second speed for the milling itself? Is there such a feature?
