High Feed Machining Option Problems?

[hot_chip]

Trying out High feed machining (icon right next to G1 post code) and having some problems.

 

I didn't want to go aggressive with this, I just wanted to test it out. I set the minimum feed rate to 60, the maximum to 70, and the maximum air cutting feed rate to 200. I edited the the tool so that the depth of cut matched my parameters. (.03")

 

Fired it up and watched it go. Well air cutting seems fine, when it engages the material seems fine, but when it makes a partial cut it seems to totally ignore my maximum feed rate of 70 ipm. The feed rate reaches 128 ipm and beyond in some areas.

 

Now I know this has been out since V9 so I'm going to chalk this up to me not knowing what I'm doing. However I really don't see that many settings to get in trouble with.

Soooo, I'm getting the feeling nobody uses this feature.

Is Dynamic milling an option for you?

Most people have switched to that as it's far more efficient.
