Rapid traverse — This is the feed per minute of rapid moves.

Tool change — This is the time in seconds it takes to change a tool (not including the rapid to get to tool change location).

Go to start — This is the time it takes for the tool head to move to the start location and the spindle or tool head to come to a stop.
