Nope.

F30 means feed the axis or axes at a vector velocity of 30 UNITS PER 
MINUTE. Not a percentage of max speed. The units are either mm or 
inches. Some machines may also allow cm's to be used.

Any machine using percentage of max speed is not following the gerber 
or gcode "rules"...

Hope this helps,
