I am trying to get my mill back up and running, Dry cutting programs to assure no lost steps etc. It's a TAIG mil,, with 400oz steppers. Should be ample power. Rapids of 40IPM, and jogging everything is fine. I can go back and forth all 3 axis no issues. run X 100x back and forth 1" with dial indicator and stops great. BUT, when dry running a file, it uses flood coolant. When prog starts, and coolant comes on, I mouse click to turn off and the X axis skips, for lack of better terminology. Sometimes it'll go completely out of sync, other times it'll restart, with some missed steps. I've tried different Kernal speeds and such. Like I stated, Jog's are perfect. 40IPM,, accel is 5IPSPS. Computer is a 2500mhz intel running XP. No other progs running with Mach.

m pulling my hair out here.

It sounds like noise from the pump motor or the relays switching the motor.

Thx, I was tired, never even thught about unplugging pump, and testing controls without the 120v. Ya no errors there. SO working on relocating the 120v relay away from motion board/stepper drives.
