Speed control in Easel

KristianAng · July 16, 2016, 10:30am

Hi there all nice forum members

How do I change the speed in easel.
In some projects I broke the 1/2 mm bits
and I think the spindle is running to fast over the surface

On the Easel screen, towards the upper right, click on “Cut Settings”, to lower the speed over the material, reduce the “Feed rate” after selecting “Custom”

Thank you Robert
That worked
Now I know how to probably saving my small bits

But I still not know what “Plunge rate” means

Have a nice weekend

Plunge rate is the speed at witch the z axis will move down

Well to be honest i have never changed the plunge rate in easel. Just have not found a reason to as of yet. Been using easel over a year now. But if i were to change it I would lower it when cutting metal. Sorry not much help in that department.
