Thanks John. Humm, my mill is running fine with steplen 1 and stepspace 0, like I was complaining about in my reply to the OP. Dirsetup and dirhold are 10,000 because the MM-542 does not actually specify that parameter. However, that sounds like I should be using something in the 1000-1500 range for steplen/stepspace. But its not really scope probe accessible to measure without major disassembly. Port pin reset times in the .hal are however 2500, so I would think that is the actual governing behavior. Is it not?
