INCORRECT FEEDRATE WHEN SURFACING

[Threept82]

Hi Guys.

When doing any surfacing and using the direction option to start off the part

it codes out as such. It never did that before

Tool comes down at F32. doe's its direction cut at 32 also instead of 4. Any ideas?

What feedrate do you have Plunge set at??

It would be nice to be able to define a feedrate

in Direction, but I beleive it takes them from Plunge and Retract.

Plunge and Retract are both at 32 but it has always used the cutting feedrate before I got to

the comapny I'm at now. That's why I'm wondering if there is a switch or default somewhere.

Sounds like they've modified thier post.

Try posting with a stock unmodified post and see what you get.

Look to makie sure you do not have the min arc feed rate checked or this could be causing problems as well. Is this an advanced toolpath where it is looking at the tool parameters and over riding the feed rate based off of the settings in the toolparameters?? Just things to investigate if the post is not the problem.
