Thanks, I hope you can help me sort this out.   I was ready to make parts for customers and this issue stopped me dead in my tracks.   Is reinstalling mach3 a reasonable way to go?

Maybe this is the correct XML

I have the max feed rate set at 100ipm    I have the jog rate at 100%     It seems to be jogging at about 10ipm

Have been running fine fro a long time until today when I fired up the router.

Once I figure this all out is there a way to lock all the settings?

I have been using Mach3 to run a router.   Today when I started it I can't get jog at 100%.   It is set at 100% but jogs ever so slowly.   I'm assuming I did something wrong but don't know what?  I am running a Gecko 540.    Limit switches and soft limits are set.

Any assistance appreciated!!!

Hood,

Thanks, will check it out but......

Often we overlook the obvious and I may have done just that.    In thinking about the problem I was wondering if the computer could be the culprut.   Then looking around I noticed that I had the computer, light, router, vacuum, and air cleaner running on the same circuit probably drawing enough to bother the computer but not trip the breaker.   Time to see if this is the problem.   I got out an extension cord and got a couple of the big draws off the circuit.   Ran the 4 programs w/o a problem.

I'm still going to check out the debounce but I thought this info might be useful to you and others.   Something to consider in a set up when there are problems.

Thanks for your effort!!!!

Regards,

Jack

Hood,

Thanks for your reply!!!   Yes, I do have limit switches and that sounds reasonable to try.   

Where do I find the "debounce?

I'm trying to make a part in a router.  The router is controlled by a gecko 250.   Part way through the program the router comes to a sudden stop and the condition abnormal - axis not refed to normal.  Nothing in the program in the area of where it stops looks abnormal.   If I try to restart the program and it may or may not run properly.    The program was produced by Rhinocam. The program simulates fine in Rhinocam.  I haven't a clue as to what is happening.   Any insight appreciated.
