FEED & SPEED

JOG

PLANETCNC

The second section of the screen displays two values: the 

current travel speed of the 

machine 

(also called Feed) 

and the rotation speed of the spindle 

(also called Speed)

as defined inside the G-code that is loaded in the program.

If you click on the icons, the section expands and shows new functions. They allow you 
to 

increase/decrease the feed & speed

 

in real-time

, while it is working and reading a 

G-code. For instance, on the image below, the machine is supposed to travel at a speed 

of 2000mm/min (Feed F2000), but the speed was decreased by 70% down to 1400mm/
min.

The jog section allows you to 

move your machine freely

, at a certain speed. This 

speed 

can be changed 

by double-clicking on the number indicated on the image below.

To move the machine, press on the arrows with the touchscreen or use the following 

keys:
