Jazz and folks, here's a couple of pictures - home limit screen and motor tuning screen - if that's got anything to do with it.

I would suggest have another go at posting the XML file and checking it works you might be able to post it by changing the file name by adding .txt to the end of the file name. ie Mach3.xml.txt

To set up correctly you need to know the screw pitch and the micro-steps set on drives. Divide the micro-steps by the pitch and this is your steps Per setting. If you have any ratio on the motor then you'll need to factor that in as well.

The velocity and acceleration you will have to set according to the machine by adjusting until motors stall then back them off 25%. Vel =2000 Accel=500 is a good starting point if you are unsure. If a router can't do those speeds it's not much use as a router.!!
