Oh and disabl;e backlash and see if that helps your other probs, it will at least let you know whether the backlash is the culprit and needs twaked.

Spindle is a fixed gearbox setting, 8 speeds, with one pulse per revolution. On the pulses per revolution, if I bring up the calibrate spindle page, it shows the pulses per revolution as 1, and it says "Zero if one per rev", and there is a box there with 1 in it. It won't let me change that to a zero for some reason. How do I change that to a zero as it should be?

Yes, Mach starts the spindle.

Ok  so not what I was thinking then, if you attach your xml I will have a look see if I can find a problem if you wish.

Only thing I see that could be a problem is the Index debounce, I am sure however you said you had tried all sorts there.
From my experience(with the PP) it usually can only be set low, I used to use zero but may depend on your opto and wiring but I would think 5 or 10 max.

One other thing regards the backlash, do a search here, I think its Rich who usually advises on a rule he uses. Might be the shuttle on General config page needs changing.

Worked perfect on the index debounce setting, even 10 there would screw it up, zero was what it needed, thanks mr Hood! I will look into the backlash wierd speed thing next, happy New Year!

Good news, hopefully the backlash settings Rich uses will sort you out :)
