Boyan - I will follow your advice carefully. There is an interesting new update to Simplify3D which addresses void issues so I will study that to see if it might be used to good effect.
I am indebted to you for your assistance. Thank you once again.

Ik have a 4th axis that I can use as a lathe, it has a 12 nm closed loop stepper.
With help from a friend I can now run it in both positioning mode and continuous mode.
It has a 1:1 transmission and can run up to 1500 rpm, which scares me....:
I use linuxcnc.
