read up on G98 and G99 in the operator manual

but who knows i left my crystal ball at home. :-)
I'm sorry for being such a dummy... :-{. I sincerely appreciate all the help. Yes, I have the Centroid encoder installed
So instead of
G01 x0y0 f15, like with a mill
it would be
g98
g01 x0y0 f15, giving the feedrate in inches per minute...
g98 sets the parameter for the rest of the program...
