Changing move speed while running a file

[sagreen83]

All,

Hope somebody's up this late...

I know I saw something on the forum where you could change the move speed while in the middle of a run (Parts File Execute) by some keyboard combination, but for the life of me, I cant find it again. Anyone know how to do this?

Thanx,
Scott...

A bit late but Hold the shift key and use the > to in crease or the < to decrease speed

[Brady Watson]

Will that key combo work in DOS or just SB3?

Hey Brady,

It's new to the Windows software.

I have to use , or . with Shift key from my canadian French set keyboard... and diagonals moves are < and é with Ctrl and/or Shift...

[sagreen83]

Actually I figured it out.. I just hit 'S' and insert command MS,6 and it worked fine...

Thanx all!

Hey Scott,

The disadvantage of stopping the tool and inserting a speed command is that you can get a little "dimple" in the cut where the bit stops moving and the cutting load is removed from it. Changing the speeds with the < and > keys solves that problem.

Good point Bill, plus you have much faster control if your speed increase is causeing any excessive load on the tool.

Great points! Thanks all for the input!
