    Cutting speed locked to Z torch height control speed

    I have bought the MP3000 with digital torch height control from CandCNC. I built my floating Z-axis to have a max. speed of about 150 ipm (5mm leadscrew). As far as I understand Mach limits the speed to all axis to that of the slowest axis. Does this mean that my X & Y axis will only run at a max of 150 imp too.

    Thanks,

    Keith.
