General Mach Discussion / Re: mill doesn't return to programmed position

Brett,
I think I calibrated the steps, but now you make me doubt it. I'm not 100% sure of it. I tried so much the last few days. But indeed, it is strange that everything works well in Mach2 but not in Mach3.
For the moment, I'm happy that I can run the program properly. Time is money you know.
I bumbed also into a problem using Mach2 today. Under "Motor Tuning", I give the x direction a velocity of 200 units/s. However, when I jog in this direction at 100%, I get a much much higher velocity (not sure how much). Jogging at 1% is still relatively fast (50mm/s). Any clou what could be the problem here?
