carving issues-UNSOLVED

All licensed up now for a full test, if anyone else is after a full Mach3 License
cheapest I found was low cost cnc retrofit they are in Australia but as its a download it matters not, took about 8 hours to get not bad considering the time difference its $145 instead of $175 on the Mach3 site. I emailed Artsoft querying the price still waiting... Low cost are on their list of resellers.

Ok, now you have a genuine license, I would recommend that it is registered with ArtSoft, then if you lose the file, you can re download from ArtSoft. That got me out of the shit after I lost my hard drive and the backup had failed without me knowing it.

My next task is to take a back-up of the restored system and check I can restore it to a fresh hard drive - and get it working from there.

Sadly after all that turns out not to be software, I was happily cutting away this afternoon when I watched the movement stop yet the code continued to run on Mach3 then it the machine moves again of course out of sync with the code, this is obviously an intermittent fault and seems to be on random axis anyone have any idea how I can track this fault down, I'm about ready to skip the whole thing.
