You can't specify two different feedrates. The feedrate applies to the X motion, the A axis follows along so that it completes at the same time as the X move. So, you would code someting like : G01 X1 F50 Z-0.1 F5 X2.345 A360 F7.5 Z1
EMC computes feedrate based solely on the X distance, ignoring the contribution of the A rotation.
