Just curious. It would seem that rapids should be, well, rapid. Not cutting, so why does it matter to tune them on this basis?

Maybe I should have said "
axis " instead of "
line by line ".
What I was getting at, was I wouldn't want my " X-axis " & my " A-axis " to have the same rapid feedrate.
I run a 5-axis grinder at work (Siemens 840D), I was just comparing to Mach3.
I would like to have a 4-axis ( X,Y,Z, & A ) mill at home, just getting an idea what Mach3 offers.
