Cutting time estimate BB controller carbide create free

Hi Brains trust.

I’ve had a cnc for a few years now and I only use it occasionally so cut me as much slack as you can!

I have an original woodworker on the build biotic controller and I’m using the free carbide create software because I don’t do anything complicated yet!

My question is when I select my tool from the library I get an estimated time then when I load it to the machine this time triples? Am I selecting the right tool or do I adjust the settings manually because the tool path is based on a shapoko machine?

Thanks in advance! I’m sure it me not the machine!!



Carbide create has no clue (and no way to change) what Cnc it is workings with acceleration speeds or rapid speeds, so it’s an estimation only.
