No rapid overide on Mach3

[i2i]

then use the feedrate overide to slow down the feedrate

[GeoffV]

Dear i2i

Thank you, the feedrate overide does indeed control the rapid (G0) as well as the feedrate (G1), how unusual!

In Mach3 you have a setting Lock Rapid FRO to Feed FRO on the general tab

On my lathe screen i set some custom buttons of 12%, 25%, 50% 100% so that only the rapids are adjusted

Thanks for your contribution, I will investigate. Unfortunately I suspect the version (locked down) for the KX3 may have inhibited this feature, never the less I will look again.

Do you mean Mach3 is locked down ?

There is an XML reader which you could use to get your settings (I think) and just make a new unlocked XML

The actual code i added to a button is SetOemDRO(223,10) where the DRO is 223 and the 10 is 10%
