The time is less relevant to me than a reliable feed rate, but it sure helps to get jobs done as quickly as possible :) >Its doing little if any blending, but the stops also did not leave an >obviously noticeable mark so the finish was not adversely effected. Yep - none I think. I need to test again, but I'm sure the P and Q values if set high enough make it quicker than G64 on it own which seems contradictory to what the manual says? Unfortunately feed variation can sometimes cause burning on wood. Maple can be a pig for that at times. Quilted or curly is hard to get the feed right, too fast, you tear chunks out, too slow and you burn it. Wood being wood, it's often trial and error on the waste to get it just right and the price I pay for premium timber I can't afford to have misbehaving machines screwing it up.
