It could be the G31 command in the macro, it needs more Z movement.

Is your spindle override set above 100%

It could be an enable function issue in the new screen scripts.  Only a guess though.

You need to have the input port and pins set for index and then set the index de-bounce to 0 or 1 in the general config screen.

Can you see the index LED flash in the diagnostics screen if you turn the spindle by hand?

Can you put the code you used up so we can see what that is like, what cutter size was used.

The code for an 83mm circle with a 6mm cutter on the outside of the circle would be something like this

G54 G00 G90 X44.5 Y0 Z25. S10000 M3

It sounds as if you do NOT have any G43 calls in your Gcode.


708
Is your gcode using G02/G03 or is it lots of G01 commands?

This is not a macro this is a small sample of g-gode showing the use of the G49 and G43 command.

Try using G61/G64 they control CV, G56 is a fixture offset
