I dont see why not. It can control four axis, and you have Acceleration and velocity settings. I think you could translate feed to speed with a tach.Yeah this wouldnt work. I dont think the other axis would move, waiting for it to catch up.
20 IPM = ?RPMS
Not sure how the program would be written G9999 F- A(axis) to infinity until stop.
I dont know if it can be run under the spindle settings tho. That would be cool.
I use CSS with IPM feed on aluminum & it's better than with a fixed spindle speed...sorta. I was parting off some 2" diameter bitchy steel a while back & took the time to figger out the correct feed rates for the decreasing diameters in 1/8" intervals. I added those feeds into the code manually & the results were better. Life lesson: Don't eat the yellow snow or part-off big, bitchy steel on a little lathe.
I'm not smart enough to write an Excel sheet that would do it for me. Surely that'd be a piece'o cake for one of you 'puter experts?
