Chris, Are you using an air jet to your cutter ?. If not then try it and see what happens then.

Just a thought but have you tried the M7 / M5 combination as this has a much smaller delay and is easily configured port and pin in the spindle setup menu.

After a bit of machining the Z axis 'mock-up' mirror mounting has now been replaced by, what I hope will be the finished part.
Undecided if I should follow Sam's example and anodize the part and dye it black or leave it as it is.

Hey Sam, you missed out all the important steps like:-

1a Open beer can.
2a Drink beer.
3a Get another can.
etc. etc.   

Nice innovation though.

The Newport mirror mountings arrived from the USA today and beautifully made they are.
Well that's my very small contribution to the US economy until I have saved up some more penny's.

Hi Nick,

I changed all the 'F0.40' feedrate commands using 'EditCNC' to 'F400' and your .tap file runs OK.
