Post your .xml file ( the current one from you Mach3 folder ) copy and rename it to something unique (kharrison.xml) then use the Reply and Additional Options tabs to attach it.
We will then be able to check your settings and perhaps be able to suggest the way forward.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Mach4 spindle setup

The latest ESS plugin is still being tested with Mach4 build 2914. You need to hold on for a while until this new ESS plugin has been released as there are some differences in the PWM signal config. from earlier versions.

Keep checking with Warp9 for the release, it is due any time now.  http://www.warp9td.com/index.php/kunena/index

Go back to a time when you believe Mach3 was working correctly.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Silly little problems but they are bigger than me...

Hi Chris,

From reports of others I think you need to be running Mach3 R3.043.062 ( if you are not already doing so ).

1) I have no idea about the safe Z problem – Safe Z is not something that I use.

2) The Feed–Hold delay is related to the Smooth Stepper buffer size.

From the ESS doc...
A smaller buffer size is more responsive to Feed Hold commands, but more sensitive to the ESS running out of data if your computer gets bogged down. 
A larger buffer size is less likely to experience the ESS running out of data, but will take longer to respond to Feed Hold commands.

3) Again something I have no idea about – if Mach is set to metric then it should stay in metric (my installation of Mach3 does).

I am pleased that you found the problem.

If it's any consolation, I think we all overlook something every now and again ( at least I do ).

Hi Steve,

I have never used Win7, 64bit so have absolutely no idea what could be causing the problem but I am pretty sure Klaus will know.
