Got it. Many, many thanks. The % was set to 1%. I don't recall doing anything to start this. I was just changing tools last night and then a no go. I found other cool stuff while poking around - like loading my offsets from a fixture, so its all good. The buzzwords are dialing in.
BTW, I know I should switch to Mach3, but I'm afraid to since this machine works as it is. This is how I bough it. Is there much to fear in the switch?
