feedrate for contouring using v9?

[rapid]

i cannot remember how to get mastercam to output the correct feedrate for contouring.
if you know what i mean for example going around circular arcs and adjusting the feed to match for the arc move to suit the centerline of the cutter.
i do not remember if it was a edit in the post or if it was profiling the part using 0 cutter for cdc .
anyone know off hand it has been awhile?

IT all depends on the material your are cutting. there's a place in your material defining page .

Is there a setting in the Main SetUp like "Reduce Feed % around Arcs"? I believe there is, but can't quite remember where it is exactly. Try looking in the Material Properties like bmracing28 said and try the Main SetUp page. It has to be in one of those places.

Cheers!!!!!

I think it's on the Job Setup Page. But....Dont bother with it. "reduce feed for Arcs" has never worked right. You'll get F0 output for feedrates.

I put it into a post once. Had to calc the radius for the arc and apply the feed % formula.

I agree with mike it has never worked as you would think, most controllers have a setting or parameter where you can set a percentage to reduce to.
Read your manual and parameters or call the dealer.
