I have a 9x42 vertical mill with power feed. I was wonder how other people set their power feed rate for inches per minute. IPM
Like most power feeds mine has a variable speed knob., with a forward reverse lever. There are no markings on the knob to indicate speed. I have not measured the speed of the table with power feed set at different positions yet. So how do others set ,their speed, say, 2 IPM or 6 IPM or what ever. Do you run a test and measure travel at various knob positions, then mark the knob position?
Thanks in advance
