Must be something like that, as when I start up Mach asks to press Cycle start after tool change, it runs at speed then, next change or possibly the third one, it goes into slow motion.

Think that should be PTFM! Which i have been meaning to do for a long time, but then how could we have so much fun with Hood?

Ted,

I've noticed the same thing going on, seems it gets back up to speed once it reaches the next point if I recall but I usually get impaitent and do a run from here thing.

Probably best ask that to Ray L. AKA HimyKabibble as he seems to have a grasp on it, I just remembered the thread and thought it was close to what you were asking.

Marco,

Can you attach a sketch of your relay circuit & part number or relay type, it would help to answer your question.

Peter,

First thing you want/need to do is get something that can generate a DXF file, this is what I use and it's free:

Once you have a DXF file it's really easy to let software make your files, I've been having good luck with Sheetcam TNG, which for the time being is free from Sheetcam.com and has no limits to the number of lines of code.

Hood,

Yup was on the "settings" page and I was able to overun the switches by .010 and not crash!

Got all three axis figured out and zero'd with the "safe limit" keeping from crushing any now, Wonder if I should go buy Igor a Glock like Brett's Chimp, good lab assistants are hard to find but I wonder if armed lab assistants are worth having, normaly I am the only one armed in the shop and it would be a pity to loose that advntage! Perhaps a super soaker and I'll just leave a power panel open!
