General Mach Discussion / Spindle stops and then immediately starts up again (Mach3)
« on: January 29, 2023, 07:28:39 AM »
I'm looking for some pointers as to where to start!
I have a Syil X4+ that is used from time to time and recently I have found it very frustrating. When running a job, the spindle will stop mid job and then immediately start up again and repeats it until I press the e-stop. Now, the last job was:
1.3mm rectangular cut (with radii) in ally and a very slow feed using an 8mm cutter.
I can get the spindle to slow down using my hands but I can't stop it. However, a 3mm slot drill will stop it - and break the cutter! So I suspect it is software related rather than the motor.
Any thoughts as to where I should start looking?
