Feedrate glitch
« on: February 12, 2010, 12:01:29 PM »
Hmmm....  I was just noticing something while cutting off a part yesterday.  After an F20 command, and my motors set at a max for 20 I was getting diaginal cuts at 27-28 IPM.  It was visibley faster than the axis parrallel cuts.  Is this something I just have to live with?  Obviously neither motor is exceeding its individual speed, but the net result is a much faster feedrate. 

In this case I was using a full 1/8 cutter with enough rigidity and speed to handle it, but if I had been using a smaller mill and pushing my feed speed for the cut I could easily has snapped it with a sudden increase like that.

Hmmmm back. Certainly both axes running at 20ipm would have a net rate of around 28ipm (20 * root(2)) on the diagonal but a feed of 20 means just that so something's amiss. That would be my thoughts anyway. Havn't got a feed override going on there have you?

Nope.  No over ride and the setting showed at 20, but the actual speed showed at 27-28.

Maybe for wood routing I can take advantage of that and do all my rough pocketing at a diagonal for faster feed.  LOL.

Can't attach the code.  Was using copy cat to cut off a piece.  Never saved it when I was done.

So is it only if you use Copy Cat that you get the issue?

I do not recall noticing it before.  Sometime when I have some time I'll write some raw code by hand to test it.

Just MDI a move and see what it does.

Had to wait for the current job to finish.  I was cutting some screw slots in my adjustable sphere cutter to make it more universal. 

Anyway, I just did a <SHIFT + left arrow + up arrow> and it moves at 27+.  I never noticed it before.  I guess because I'm always watching the coordinates or the cutter and work piece when I am making a manual move.
