Hi Brett,
I am kind of new at this but have kinda been just dealing with this problem and now I just can't take it anymore as it is ruining some expensive wood etc. I didn't take a look at the status bar when this happened. I know... stupid. I am not even really sure what the debounce is or where it should be set. And again.. How can I tell if I am using a smooth stepper or a parallel port? I'm sorry I don't mean to sound stupid. I am just not completely sure. By the way.. My machine is the 3020 cnc. Thanks for your help. It is much appreciated!

What message is being displayed in the status bar when it does this? What is your debounce set to in general config? Are you using a smooth stepper or parallel port?
