Changing the spindle speed and feed rate
With the override knobs you can vary the spindle speed S and feed
rate F from 0% to 150% of the set value.
The knob for spindle speed override is effective only on
machines with an infinitely variable spindle drive.
The machine tool builder determines which
miscellaneous functions M are available on your TNC and
what effects they have.
