hi
i hope i'm posting in the right place i have a denford micromill and microlathe
i updated the mill with mach3mill new controller motors everything   and all seems fine there
i took the motors off the mill put x and z axis on the lathe started mach3turn configed the same as mill and got them working was calibrating and everything set 1 inch is one inch.   save before exit and shut off everything 
when i turned everything back on later my config was not setup in  mach3turn anymore and i cannot get any motor movement in turn the dro moves but no motor
if i close turn and open mill i can jog the x and z no problem
i'm lost I'm sure its in set up but i cant find it can mill and turn run on the same pc one at a time
oh ps i'm licenced in mach lazycam and newfangled
