Why not just wire it through the e-stop circuit.

What happens if you use MDI, enter this code and see if it works right:-

Enter in MDI and press enter,

G01 G91 X2. F5.

Then try,

G01 G91 X-2. F5.

It looks like you are using a 3 axis post, you need to use a 4 axis post in Fusion.

Did you calculate the steps per using the screw pitch and steps per rev of the motor and any gearing or did you use 1200mm distance and the wizard?

Crop circles could be the IJ mode setting in general config, this can also be set in your CAD/CAM output.

Do you need 2 LPT ports?

What version of Windows are you running?

What settings do you have in Port#1 and Port#2?

In ports and pins, disable all the axis limit switches and just have home switches enabled and try homing.

At 18000 RPM its only .07mm (.003") per rev so I would put a G64 in at the top of the code and see if that helps.
