Slow movement when not cutting

Hi,

I've got my Shapeoko 2 feed rate set to 60, and when it is cutting it is moving according to that value. But when the machine is moving the spindle to a target position above the stock without cutting, it moves too slow. I was wondering if there is a way to tell it to move faster when it is not cutting as this is wasting a lot of time. I am using Vectric aspire.

Thanks!

Hello,

You'll have to show us your GCode...

And a dump of the grbl settings, because that's where your rapid rate is set.

Thanks, seek rate is what I was looking for

I've changed it from 500 mm/min to 1000 mm/min and it looks much better now!
