As always Tweakie, you come up trumps, that looks exactly what I am after, thank you very much.

I would suspect a wiring issue, namely noise. Check you have shielded cables and they are correctly grounded.

I learnt nearly all of it off Tweakies website http://www.cooperman.talktalk.net/index.htm, worth a couple of hours going through it.

I am thinking of doing something similar, basically have a picture, convert to Gcode and make a 3D relief using router/mill and small ball nose end mill.
I did read that having the subject in black and white gives better results? But what to use, I did have a mess around with CamBam, but couldn't fathom how to get it right.

If I ever use multi pin connectors, I always slip a short length of heat shrink tube on the wires first and after soldering wires simply slip it down over the soldered joint and the pin,  stops any stray strands causing bother!

Toad,

Have a go with Tweakies http://www.cooperman.talktalk.net/files/17.htm, copied and pasted into mach3 and has never missed a beat, just scroll down to the bottom of the page

It does say it is compatible with mach3, but cant really understand it as it is in german and my german is woeful to say the least.
i would double check your settings in your controller and mach3, failing that purchase a standard  breakout board and try that?
