Speed Factor in the user settings. What exactly does it mean

Post by SWMS »

Ok, I have worked out what the rest of the settings mean; but what does the Speed Factor mean? Its in broken english and it makes no sense to me.

Can anyone explain this?

Marco, I was thinking. It may be good to show through either videos of pictures the differences settings can make.

For example. A video showing when Speed Factor is set to 0, when it is set to 2 and when it is set to 5 would be really useful.

Thanks

It is used to determine the speed of the curve line cutting.
The rate of factor can be changed from '0' to '5'
The bigger if the number, the faster it can cut a curve object
Usually, the bigger machine need smaller value or it may cause wobble on the curve. For example, for a 1800x1200 machine, I will use either 1.5 or 2.0. For a smaller and faster machine like 1200x900 and 900x600, I'll use 3.0 or 4.0 because the bigger number of the factor, the faster you can cut.

Thanks for this, I am wondering why it makes a difference. Is it because the bigger the machine the more chance there is for backlash?
