## Operation

The default 'Activate Feed' checkbox is on. When it is on, the functions described below will work, when it is off, the functions will not be called.

## Settings

### Feed Rate

Default is 16 millimeters/second.
Defines the feed rate for the shape.

### Maximum Z Drill Feed Rate

Default is 0.1 millimeters/second.
If your firmware limits the z feed rate, you do not need to set this setting.
Defines the maximum feed that the tool head will move in the z direction while the tool is on.

### Travel Feed Rate

Default is 16 millimeters/second.
Defines the feed rate when the cutter is off. The travel feed rate could be set as high as the cutter can be moved, it does not have to be limited by the maximum cutter rate.
