Mayhaps you should re-phrase the question. As I read it, it is limiting me to a choice of what's already available on the Fadal. Perhaps a question like "What is the most significant change Fadal could make to improve/add performance for HSM" Or "What is the most significant 'limiting' factor in High Speed Machining on a Fadal"

I'll try to improve the Poll Question, (If there is an admin looking, go for it, I tried but I don't have access even though I started the thread)
I like your suggestion:

Yes, no, yes, no
And I can only help by passing on my experience.
Would you or anyone else be interested in making your CNC Milling machine accurate in 2D or 3D contouring?
Matt, you are correct, you cannot get there with a Fadal control, old or new...
"There" means to me; true HSM or smooth accurate feed rates ABOVE 300 IPM for Aluminum, and smooth accurate feeds for harder materials 3-5 times the feeds possible on the lower end CNC machines out there...
Keep in mind that HSM means:
lighter depth of cuts at very high feeds, with better cutting tools and more RPM...
(very generally defined)
HSM is more a process, than a destination.
I'll give as much info as you want to hear.
Is anyone else interested besides Matt?
Regards,
Scott
