F - Feed rate

The F command is used to set the feed rate for machine movement.

 

The feed rate can be specified on its own or as part of another G-code command.

 

Once set, the specified feed rate remains active until it is overwritten by a new F value.

 

The feed rate command does not override the maximum feed rate limits configured for each axis.

 


Syntax & Parameters

The F value defines the feed rate that the machine will use for the specified operation.

 


Example Program

 

N10 F1500

 

In this example, the machine will use a feed rate of 1500 units per minute until another feed rate is specified.

 

 

INFORMATION: Units are defined as either inches or millimetres, depending on the machine setup or whether the G20 or G21 command is active.
