I feel like the shopbot tech people are overwhelmed so I thought I would post this here rather than call them or email them.
I have a prt alpha and working in MM.
My question is when the speeds are displayed in the control software in SB3 is that in mm/sec or mm/min? I'm guessing mm/sec at this point and when in inches this is inches per sec?
My post processor from the cam had a default max feed rate unit of 89. I kept increasing the feed rate in mm/min but the machine wouldn't move any faster until I found this default setting.
I'm trying to match speeds and feeds when looking at the control software and doing test cuts to find optimal feed rates for my materials.
Thanks
