Question why does the CV Feedrate exceed the Mach4 Motor settings?
Feed rate can easily exceed the max of a single axis when more than one axis is feeding. Think blend velocity. To get the blended velocity sum the velocity vectors:
blendVel = sqrt(vX*vX + vY*vY + vZ*vZ). If 2 axis start at 0 and are traveling at 10 units per minute how far has the tool moved in a single minute? Draw a 10 unit line in X and one in Y then measure destination to destination. You will see that while neither axis moved over 10 units a minute the tool would have traveled quite a bit further.
Yup, a line of 0 degrees is a straight line.
Why do you have to slow down in your car to make a 90 degree turn? I blame it on the *^&^ that wrote the laws of physics but until someone does better I guess I will have to abide by those laws. Think about it.... your going down the road at 100 miles and hour or 5 miles an hour or just walking, or riding a bike..... any kind of motion. How much do you have to slow down to change your path by 1 degree Vs. changing it by 90 degrees Vs changing it by 179 degrees (1 degree off from being the exact opposite direction). This is why the table ends at 179 degrees. No way to go in exact opposite without first stopping. What happens if you don't slow down? You go off path, possibly by a lot as in through the ditch and in the corn field lot.
Nope, smaller angles can be ran much faster than larger angels while each maintain a set tolerance to the requested path.
How do your tool paths measure up using the wizard?
