I thing Greg and subsequently Andy have been working on ESS threading for some time now but Mach4 issues keep taking priority.

Hi Garand,

Welcome to the forum.

May I suggest you go back to the thread you started and post you .xml file (as requested by Rob). The guys there will get to the bottom of the problem and I am certain they will get your machine running. ( http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,31042.msg215298.html#msg215298 )

Pleased you got it sorted Doug.

Just shows how observant I am - didn't notice M10 / M11 were transposed.

Hi Doug,

The only thing I can see (without testing it on a machine) is that you have Output#1 configured as Spindle. This may be causing a conflict with the M10P1/M11P1 commands. Try using a different Output# for one or the other and see if that resolves the problem. Also uncheck Use WatchDogs (Config / General Config).

Hi Doug,

That's a good suggestion.

I don't know which Screen you are using but bottom right of the 1024 set shows the Profile you are using. Locate the .xml file <your profile> .xml (typically Mach3Mill.xml) in the Mach3 folder - copy it to the desktop, rename the copy to a unique name (wl888.xml would be good) then using the Additional Options (at the bottom of the reply pane) attach it to your reply.

I will check you settings and hopefully be able to suggest a solution.
