For some reason that I'm not sure of, EMC opened tonight and the maximum velocity for each axis was 5, just like I had been trying to set. The main difference I can figure out is that I changed maximum output from 1 to 5, and now to 10. Anyway, I can now rapid and jog at 240ipm without faulting! Awesome! Now all I have to do is wire & configure the spindle encoder, spindle drive, home & limit switches, homing routine, coolant system, spindle oil pump, slide/ballscrew lube pump, e-stop circuit, enable relay, 240VAC, etc ....UUUGGGHHH :-)
