Measuring the feed rate is very easy. Mark the mill table using a crayon two lines say 500 or 750 mm apart. Run the X axis feed you don't have to run the spindle and use a stop watch to measure the time between the two lines. Now you didn't think it was that easy did you
Use the measured feed to calibrate your (speed) control knob. The knob you turn to increase decrease the feed has some numbers next to it.
Easy

Heck Man, we did exactly as U suggested. Only thing is, the potentiometer setting was at almost 5 notches to cover the the 300mm distance that KEN had specified for the feed, by which we had never run our machine previously.
That's another story for KEN. So read on below.
