Speeds and feeds in GCode?
So when I set up my RPM and IPM in vcarve is that whats actually being used when cutting?
Were using a shop bot, and the guy who primarily will be operating it was telling me it was running 2k RPM faster than what I had programmed it to in Vcarve.
So is it in the GCode? or is it on the machine side with shopbots software or something?

G-code tells the machine how fast it should go:
M3 S5000 (Turn the spindle on at 5000RPM)
G1 F100 X22 Y33 (Go to X=22 Y=33 at 100IPM or 100mm/min)
The machine will generally obey the G-code unless:
- It is not capable of going that fast or that slow.
- The spindle controller is not accurate enough.
- The user has changed the speed with "override" controls.
Re: Speeds and feeds in GCode?
Shopbot code will look a bit different, but should still have the rpm in it.
If the shopbot code has the right speed, then the issue is somewhere else.
