Ok the parts are maple and taking a cut on the x axis from left to right  handle first as  the tool moves from handle to barrel it cuts less wood
I need to speed the feed up to maintain the same tool pressure, the part wants to move excessivy, The lathe I uses is home made a cincinatti tray top converted with a ball screw.  The spindle rpm are not tied to the software, I have no dro,  I made a follow rest with a tool to pre cut the dowel as the part turns, in order to use it I must be able to adjust the speeds to maintain tool pressure......

Thanks for your help

thanks for the responses  We do have very large crickets in OK "USA"


I own a small Bat business  Infinity Bats,

Up to now I have been using cnc pro a dos based program


ok so if i am running at 15ipm without effecting the rpm I cannot change the speed liniear IE enter a new speed and over the 7 inches of travel the x axix ramps up to the new speed.
