Indeed it is, my friend, so far it looks like at least 7 inches (that's what she said!!)

Then it jumped to second pocket and it went deeper than in the first pocket..that's where the trouble began. Then it came up but did not come up high enough, probably because it was extra deep in second pocket, it shot over to 3 pocket scoring across the top of the piece ruining it and tried to go triple deep, busting the bit.

Hi, I like to try to look at the easy user mistakes first (how do you think I got this way?   ).

Did it show going deeper on the Z DRO ? I've had this happen where the DRO was correct but the cutter sucked/pulled out of the collet and therefore was lower in Z height. Had you checked the Z height of the cutter after this run?

When I was running into problems running the USB LCD DRO, I upgraded to that version (with Terry's and others help), and it's been running solid for me as well.

Of course, on the other hand, with hearing what Ray does with Mach 3, and what I do with Mach 3, he's light years ahead of me.
