Hmmm not sure how to put this, but how does one get mach3 to run smoother when engraving?
For example, when engraving the letters "finest ten" in the picture above, the feed rate is set at 500mm/min, however in mach3 the feed rate keeps changing, usually well below 500mm/min as it goes along.
I can understand that it has to slow down here and there to take tight corners etc etc, but once again, when running this on a HAAS machine it's pretty much setting on 500mm/min the whole time.
On our current machine everything takes about 3 times longer to engrave since mach3 keeps dropping the feed rates well below what it should be.
Would smooth stepper perhaps make mach3 run more smooth feed rate wise?
