Sorry you are not making any sense, you talk about diameter and then tell me you are on a mill.

Make you mind up and show some pictures of your machine and then we may be able to help.

What type of machine are you using and why do you have to swap between radius and diameter mode?

Spindle speed is determined by the tools used and the materials being cut not.

Power all 4 drives from the good power supply and see if you get a fault.

That code has never run on Mach3 or any other system.  The format is all wrong :-

N0010 File Name: Acadia Column Base Plat 16 in 2 .tap - No brackets
N0020 Post Processor: Mach3 THC With scriber (Edited) - No brackets
N0030 Date 3/6/2021 - No brackets
N0040 G20 Units: Inches - No brackets after G20
N0050 F1
N0060 G53 G90 G40
NOO70 Part: Acadia Column Base Plate 16in 2 - No brackets and 'OO' instead of '00'
NOO80 G00 XO.0000 Y0.0000 - 'OO' instead of '00' and 'XO.0000'
N0090 M04 M30

The way the script is written it uses G90 G31 so if you have offsets or have changed the z datum point the 4" move is relative to that. Also if a tool offset is active with a height offset not equal to zero that can also change the distance.

In most cases probing is done in G91 moves.

Is this a new set up and macro or an old one that is now failing.
