Does anyone know of anyway to get this with lightburn or some sort of conversion for the file afterward? I tried to engrave something and instead of 6 minutes it took 1 hour. I know why but trying to figure out the best way to fix it. I know its because its inch/min instead of degrees, but a little fuzzy how to convert if the program dosent. Thanks

Okay i think i figured it out but leads me to one last question. I changed parameter 56 to 8 for inverse time and added a G93 to my gcode. My question is, can i leave that parameter and cut regularly or does it need to be changed back before i try to cut or machine a regular file without the A axis. If i am just cutting a piece of wood, would it affect anything leaving that Parameter?

Louie, you need to start your own thread and explain what your are trying/wanting to do.
