Perhaps you mean G33 Synchronized Spindle Motion? I don’t see a “feed per revolution” specifically in the GCode reference (http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/gcode.html#sec:G92 <http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/gcode.html#sec:G92>)… > > BTW 2ipm with 2000rpm corresponds to 1 thou per rev... not 10-20 thou? Yes, I tried today to measure the chip that came off (all curvy so had to flatten with pliers). I was apparently greatly exaggerating the thickness, I measure around .0035 to .0045 so bigger than the calculation said it would be but not as big as I had in my head (perhaps it was the stress of the moment ;-) I did check my feed to make sure the machine is moving at the correct speed and that is fine. -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't Limit Your Business.
