So firstly yes I'm aware that I can manually go in and put a speed change in my gcode. Just looking to see if there's a way to do it in the software.
I'm machining a fairly deep (1.5") enclosure that has some small (0.135") internal radii. To avoid chattering, I'm looking to try and reduce my spindle speed as I hit those internal corners. I found the feed optimization, but that only seems to affect my feeds. Any other features that I'm missing?
It's called "Feed Optimization". You will need to calculate the difference between the tool radius and part radius and input a value that's larger than that in the Reduced Feed Radius column. However, that will also depend on what cutter comp you are using. For Wear and Computer, it's calculated on the arc size that it's swinging, such as a .250 diameter tool going into a .135" radius corner would only be swinging a .01" radius, but Control Comp would be seeing a .135" radius, if that makes any sense...
