General Mach Discussion / Feed rate after tool change problem
« on: September 19, 2008, 07:23:31 PM »
Hi gang. I've been pretty quite here for a long time but I think I have found a bug.
It's not a big deal and it's an easy code fix. I use Sheetcam to generate almost all of my gcode. Sheetcam's Mach post jams an F1 into the init code. Les says it's to keep Mach quite during the init. Don't really know what that means.
Anyway, The F1 comes before the tool change. When run, the mill goes to the tool change location and waits. On continue the next move, which is a G00 to some location, the mill runs at F1 speed like it was a G01 move.
I think it has been like this forever. It still does it in the latest dev version as well. I have just gotten into the habit of changing that F1 to F50 in the editor each time I load a file.
Am I missing something or doing something wrong?
Thanks.
Ted
