feeds

I guess K-Cam does not read F for the feed? I would like to drill with the Z axis going down at .75 inches per minute and come out of the hole 10 inches per minute. K-Cam dan't do this?

What does you're code look like?

Problem solved, "Ramp Start", found in "table Setup" was set too high. KCam cannot run slower than this value. Solution was to set "ramp start" to .5, KCam will now use "F?? for feed from .5 to upper limit of feeds set in "table setup. When "Ramp Start" was set to .5, "Ramp Rate" was set at 500, this speeded up the acceleration to 15 inches per minute I had set for the maximun feed rate.
