Cat selection

[Anonymous]

Is there a way in feature cam 2019 to have the tool speed and feeds self adjust based on the type of spindle your machine has.

Example if I have programmed feed and speeds for a cat 40 that all adjust based on material, if I go and change my spindle settings to a Cat 30 is there a way to have feature cam self adjust all those speeds and feeds based on the smaller spindle?

Hi @Anonymous

Welcome to Autodesk community.

Feeds and speeds values are calculated automatically for each operation based on the feed/speed database, based on a combination of the stock material, the tool material, and the operation details.

How are the feed and speed calculated in FeatureCAM

As of now FeatureCAM cannot self-adjust speed and feeds based on the type of spindle.

I will raise a change request to the development team for your request.
