When I first started out on my CNC adventure I used Turbo CNC for my controller and it couldn't do Constant Velocity. All I had was exact stop and having heard about how wonderful it was I couldn't wait to change to Mach3. In the meantime while I saved up to buy the CNC magic beans I had to learn how to produce Gcode from my CAD software software that would run smoothly and not try and shake my machine apart. I turned out to be an easy process but I couldn't wait for the promise of Constant velocity.
Finally I upgraded to Mach3 and there were many wonderful things i could now do but to my disappointment the one thing I wanted turned out to be a disappointment. The realization that constant velocity isn't all it is cracked up to be.
People might say that I didn't set it up properly and maybe they are right, but set up properly or not it doesn't alter the fact that when it turns on it alters the Gcode file that I spent hours working on. This is a big problem with parts that need to fit together and more trouble than it is worth.
I bet a lot of people use it without realizing what it actually does. How many people spend hours looking for a fault that is distorting their parts and not realize that it could be constant velocity doing exactly what it told and distorting your part. You slow the machine down and the part comes out better because CV behaves differently at different speed. It may even turn off at the lower speed.
