If stepper, drop the velocity and acceleration in half and see how it goes. If ok, gradualy increase until the stepper jams / skips and back off by 30%.

We've tried many settings to no avail, we'll try so more.
Thanks.

when using lazycam to make pockets, the program stops randomly. I get the following error
Unrecoverable Error in EndGLdraw1....Notify artsoft

By program are you meaning in Lazycam or in Mach 3 Mill?
Can you post the dxf and tap file?

Thanks, we solved that problem, it was a bad parallel port card.  We still have the lost position problem.

I just built gantry cnc router and am using mach3 with lazy cam.
I have 2 problems
1 the z axis motor jams at times causing it to lose it's reference to zero. It will also do it with the motor removed from the mill, turning with no load.
2 when using lazycam to make pockets, the program stops randomly. I get the following error
Unrecoverable Error in EndGLdraw1....Notify artsoft

I am new to this so any help is appreciated.
