Summary0003343: grbl post processor does not scale feed rate correctly on 13218
DescriptionSee Help Forum
When in Path-Job-Tools, there are 5 columns: Name, #, mm/s, mm/s and Spindle.
I am not sure why two columns have the same header?
Anyway, using the first column, I set my feed rate to 13.33 mm/s corresponding to 800 mm/min.

Steps To ReproduceSee description. mm/s are set to 13.33. Look at last line in grbl gcode. The line includes F13.33.

It should say F800.

The 13.33 needs to multiplied by 60 to convert mm/s to mm/min
Additional InformationMay applies to LinuxCNC post processor too. It uses mm/min. I don't know feed rate units requirements of other post-processors.

Work-around. In the dialog, set it to 800 not 13.333, then it outputs F800!
