Do you see the green LED surrounding the CV Mode?

That is likely your problem.
When in exact Stop mode the axis has to accelerate and then slow to a stop for each line of code. If the moves are long then its not an issue but if they are short moves you would need very fast acceleration to get up to the commanded feedrate for each line.
Setting to CV (G64) will lilkely help a lot, setting a higher acceleration (if possible) in motor tuning may also help.

At the Velocity you have(750) in motor tuning 25KHz kernel will be more than enough.

So i am not sure what i need to do should i increase the velocity and the acceleration both and change a mach setting or ?

What I would do for a start is use CV mode. To do that either MDI G64 or best is to have G64 at the start of your code. Also change to CV mode ( G64 )on General Config page so that Mach starts default as CV mode.

OK i will do just that also i just found something i stop the file and then clicked on the feed rate line typed in 600 it took it and now the machine is moving like i thought it should all along funny how you find thing's like that huh i got it going now thanks for all your help you and others are what makes this a great site.

I got the machine through at least the test file so i could see what the code is doing and now i want to get a part actually cut in metal i was using a rigid foam for a test.
So first question how high can i go with the velocity setting i have Mach set at 3500 kernel speed i upped the velocity to 950 because i was not sure of how high to take it the other thing i need is to find a realistic speed and feed chart all your help is greatly appreciated oh and the machine works great it's the speed of maching a part that's the issue.

One more thing i would like to say is i am running an earlier version of Mach i am afraid of updating it to the latest version as when i have done this in the past it screws up and i have a hell of a time go back to a version that worked so should i wait until Brian has the version 4 done ?
