hey, I have a cnc 3020 just a cheapy from china it runs fine but as its cutting away it will take off in the direction its cutting eg if i was cutting a circle it could cut half way then go off straight and ruins the work and i have to start again......had anyone had this same problem ?with 1 version of mach 3 it will cut away happily then freeze in its tracks, so i restart mach 3 run it again and same problem in the same spot. with the other version that takes off i stop it restart it the it will work fine complete the work its doing the bam off it goes again if i dont stop it it will go as far as it can then try to go further jamming the steppers....its really getting frustrating.....i cant finish any work without it doing it and since im making moulds with a fair bit of work involved i am so far behind i need this fixed ASAP so someone please help.....No other problems it does say pulsing to fast in the driver test sometimes and excellent others.
