I have a customer trying to set up EMC2 with a rotary axis such that he can carve on the surface as if its a plane wrapped around the circumference of the work piece and has coordinated motion such that he can get a constant surface speed. Because the rotary axis is set up in degrees, he cannot get the feed rates to match. I other words, if he programs F100, the rotary axis is dog slow, and if he programs F500, the linear axis moves way too fast. As far as I know you cannot have two F parameters on one line of g-code.
I am sure this has to be something simple, but I just don't know what. I could see where you could configure the rotary axis as if it were a linear axis, but you'd have to reconfigure that axis and restart emc2 every time you changed stock to a different diameter. Any ideas?
