General Mach Discussion / Rapids not reaching max speed
« on: September 27, 2011, 10:34:31 AM »
Hello,
I am running a 6'x11' router with 1000 oz-in steppers (dual x) using Mach3. I think I have a set up problem. My max velocity in motor tuning is 1000 in/min on x axis and 500 on y axis. When I shift-jog I get up to 1000 in/min on x and 500 on y.
However, when I am running from G code the G0 rapid moves are slow. Sometimes slower than the cutting speed. At first I noticed in general config that I has "Lock Rapid FRO to Feed FRO" checked and I thought that was it but there was no change in the behavior after unclicking it.
Any ideas?
