wow, here i am again requesting help. atached is my xlm file, i think i had a brown out or automatic windows update. i have been fiddeling with this for days. i do have it working but things are off. x and y are ok except for shuttering in the curves even at low speeds. the z way off! i have been through the docs several times. and looked at many forum threads. it must be in the ball screw setup ? don't know how it would have changed? i think i have a standard acme screw 10" long .75 in diameter 9 tpi. direct drive to the servo. also when i press the stop button, the bit does not raise, it stays in the work. i think i have looked and changed everything. what the heck am i missing. thank you. tony in indianapolis, indiana usa
