Hi, Josh

The use diameter for feedrate uses the, Setting's page, Set A rot. Dia. "value" to calculate the F speed in relationship to the part Diameter.

360 rollover, When the A axis hit's 360 it reverts to 0 deg. value, With out it checked axis will continue to count up and if you issue a A0 the axis will reverse direction.

Play with these settings and G-code to see how thay respond.

let me try this question 1st (The use diameter for feedrate uses the, Setting's page, Set A rot. Dia. "value" to calculate the F speed in relationship to the part Diameter.)
so let say I have a stock of 2 inches  and I am doing some milling around this stock does that mean  on the settings page go to rotation diameter, I would input 2 inches.

does that sound correct.

Hi, Josh

Yes, The feed rate will be based on the stock diameter, As your finding, A axis setting will need to be changed depending on the job setup.
