Feed rate

With turning, feed rates are often specified in millimeters per

revolution. The TNC moves the tool according to a defined value for

each spindle revolution. The resulting contouring feed rate is thus

dependent on the speed of the turning spindle. With high speeds

the TNC increases the feed rate and with low speeds reduces

the feed rate. With uniform cutting depth you can machine with

constant cutting force to achieve a constant cut thickness.
The programmed feed rate on a TNC is by default always

interpreted in millimeters per minute (mm/min). If you wish to

define feed rate in millimeters per revolution (mm/rev.), you must
program

M136. The TNC then interprets all subsequent feed rate

specifications in mm/rev. until

M136 is canceled.

M136 is effective modally at the beginning of the block and can be
canceled with

M137.
