change the 10000rpm spindle speed limitation #71

Closed lfc7 closed 7 years ago

lfc7 commented 7 years ago

Hi, the spindle speed is limited to 10000rpm (if trying to set it faster, it remain at 10000), is there a way to change this to 20000rpm. thanks

The GTK GUI defines this limit. Please take a look at the file share/ui/tasks.ui and change the maximum value for speed (defined in the last seven lines of that file).

What would be a reasonable (future-proof) maximum value for this setting from your point of view?

Hi, CNC mill build I participate on has "china generic" spindle which can handle up to 18k rpm. There are spindles up to 60k rpm on ebay. 100k should be enough for future I think...

Yes got it, share/ui/tasks.ui is the right place but in the 7 first lines, it works fine, many thanks sumpfralle. I agree with diggit, 100k seams to be enought.
