When you say Sherline a big red light comes on in my head. There has been a lot of talk lately about the timing parameters in stepconf. If your Z is slowly creeping down, I bet some timing is wrong. An acceleration or velocity problem with Z moving up won't generally lose a step or two, it will stall which means it comes to a stop and you lose the entire remainder of the move. Then it cuts WAY too deep after that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
