Units/Min Question
«

Hello,
I have used an old version of Mach 3 at a friends house for some time. I setup my machine and have the table working and cutting correctly.
Each of the axis's move in inches and I have verified the machine actually moves 1 in when I tell it to.
Now my problem, the units/unit still seems like it is displaying in cm. I have the system configured for in (config-units).
Any ideas what I have missed?
Thanks

Bit confused to what you are saying, if you command a move of 1 inch you say it moves 1 inch then you say you think it is displaying in mm/min?
Can you try and explain a bit better?

On the control screen there is a section called Feed Rate. The units/min is displaying the speed the machine is moving in mm/min.
I have set the units as inches however this seems to still want to use mm.

Working fine here, if I MDI a G1 with a F20 then it moves at 20 IPM, F50 it moves 50IPM, F85/85IPM.
Are you running coe when you are seeing the feerate showing high? If so could the code be written in metric, ie has a G21 in it?

Attached is the Gcode I ran. It cuts out the part just fine but the section I have pointed to in the pic is wrong.
