what about that x axis issue? i can not find any setting to try and the strange thing is that it is just this one direction on the one axis.
what MPG do you use? i am having fun with the xbox thing but could certainly use something better.
BTW, i have been cranking out parts and have had maybe one or two strange glitches that were probably windows related but no broken cutters or strange behavior.

?First there is an annoying bug in mach4 that i can work around but often forget and i did break a bit because of this. I am using cheap bits but as of a few days from now I will be using very expensive bits and do not want to break them.
When you boot mach4 the step increment is shown in the jogging pane as what was previously selected. However the increment really is 1 in spite of what is shown. So when i get real close with the xbox controller and then want to make a .01" adjustment, it moves 1 inch instead which can cause it to crash. All i have to do is to remember to set the increment again but i keep forgetting.
I have shared home and limit switches for three of the four axis. Everything works normally with the exception of one switch in one direction. If i hit a limit one of two possible things happens. On the z axis if i run into a limit it backs off or at least stops trying to pass the switch. i can then back off in the opposite direction. on other axis it triggers an estop and i need to enable again before i can back off.
However on the X axis if i hit the limit in the on the left it behaves as expected. if i hit the switch on the right it triggers an estop and there is nothing i can do to move that axis without rebooting mach4. resetting the enable does not allow jogging off the switch. This is the case for just the x axis on the right. I had not noticed because i never hit the switches, i was just testing.
