Ray is right: EMC2 implements an XYZABC machine as the ngc spec describes it: the XYZ are linear and the ABC are angular. However if you set your LINEAR_UNITS and ANGULAR_UNITS to the same value, you'll get behavior really close to what you want. For the nitty gritty details, have a look at http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/2.1/html/gcode/main/index.html Especially note the "Feed Rate" section. If you want to get a certain feed along the cut you might want to consider using inverse time feed mode in your generated gcode, since EMC doesn't understand the geometry of your machine.
