Art,
The X-axis feed rate helped a lot. I dropped from 7-1/2 minutes to 3-3/4 minutes with the separate X feed rate. Thanks!!!
Only, I don't understand why you called it "plunge rate" instead of simply "X-feed rate." If performing a facing or boring operation wouldn't "plunge rate" be a misnomer, since the roles of X and Z are reversed when compared to turning operations?
