 Thanks Ron Rich and Hood for the response I think I may have explained the threading problem wrong all works wonderful in NSF turn and all works well in threading for 3 to 4 passes then all of a sudden it stops thinks a minute and moves to a new location then starts cutting a new thread in the air it does match up with DRO where ever it stops I did notice today that the RPM fluctuates when it decides to do this I have checked pulse signal and it is working on the board and in mach diagnostics what can make it change its mind in the middle of a thread I read in forum someone edited the G76 macro changed the test False to True can someone explain how and where to do this I am up for any thing.I read Hood you were going to switch to USB is this because of the signal speed and do you think I should..       Thanks Everyone       Axle.
