Mainly at what Hz I should set the fast jog, slowjog, accel, and start velocity at.

The Max Speed setting will the the highest pulse rate that is generated in pulses per second on your machine. Keep in mind that you have a 200 per revolution stepping motor, 20 tpi leadscrew and a divide by 8 microstep drive function. That equates to 32,000 pulses per inch.

My machine has a 200 step per revolution stepping motor, a 10 tpi ballscrew and a 10 microstep drive.

My settings:
Max speed 40,000 Acceleration: 5,000 Start speed: 6000

These settings give me a max speed of 150 IPM. With the same settings on your machine it will be somewhat less than that. The max settings will probably never be reached as the normal feedrate is set by the g-code program that you are running, and a move would have to be over several inches in order for the acceleration factor to allow the increase in speed to the max value entered. The higher the max setting, and the acceleration setting the faster the machine goes.

Also, how do I adjust the feed rate of this software?

Once you have gone thru the menu to the Operator Moderated or the Automatic Machining functions, you can then use the < and > keys to slow down (<), or (>) increase the FEEDRATE SET IN THE G-CODE FILE. This is displayed in the STATUS window. The default value is 100%. The < key can reduce this feedrate to 20% of the g-code value. The > key can increase the feedrate to a max of 300% of the g-code setting.

Tried saving the setting, and reseting the ports, so why is it not saving the changes?

Because you are not in true DOS mode. I had the same problem. I tried to save the setup values in the file while on my Windows XP machine and also on my Windows 98 machine. TurboCNC will not allow the setup file to be saved unless you are in true DOS mode.

I do not have any idea what operating system you have, but TurboCNC requires DOS mode to operate properly.

I don't know if you have Ver 4.0 of TurboCNC or not. I am still running the older version, so all my answers are based on the version I have.

Hope this helps.
