Of course, a drill machine is a drill machine, no matter what I do, but the way I made is MUCH better and safer to use as mill than some other people do. Enjoy.

Hi everyone, ive finally got my big cnc machine up and running and am now trying to control my CNC Pro V5 along with GSender, just wondering if anyone else is using GSender as I have a few small questions. Ive messaged a few GSender groups and their own website but to no avail as of yet. ]]> General Discussion ravihotwok https://www.mycncuk.com/threads/16110-GSender-Anyone-ever-used-it https://www.mycncuk.com/threads/16092-Problems-with-mach3-and-cslabs-controller-jittering-losing-connection-frequently?goto=newpost Thu, 18 Jun 2026 20:05:20 GMT I know I haven’t posted for a while, but my machine has been working fine, and life has been busy.

I have a developing problem, sometimes the machine jitters like it’s catching up with data, other times more commonly mach3 loses connection with cslabs and it stops mid cut. I am using stepper motors. The jittering occurs on large complex 3d NC programs, mach3 losing connection is random when it occurs.

I am using a windows xp laptop and connecting via an Ethernet cat 6 cable. At first I thought it was the Ethernet ports - poor connections. So I replaced my interfaces with the machine with screw down Ethernet connects made by Neutrik for microphones etc, also a new cable which is shielded ( last on was to) The problem hasn’t gone away.

I cannot seen to find much information online about setting to tweak. Most popular suggestion was to use cslabs interface instead of mach 3.
I have rebooted my laptop a few times and cleaned all the contacts in the data path, so I am now not sure what to look at next. I haven’t changed any of the settings from those Dean helped me put in 9 years ago.
Any tips to resolve this would be appreciated ]]> General Discussion Stressedwoodman https://www.mycncuk.com/threads/16092-Problems-with-mach3-and-cslabs-controller-jittering-losing-connection-frequently
