Hi, thanks for your input and it is very nice to see it running.
You actually answered a question I was planning to ask about the text. I suppose both X and Y are incorrect so will adjust these when I am next in France where the machine is.
Feed rate was quite a funny thing. X and Y were originally set to 5 so I ramped this up to 120 for this cut. The steppers (from memory) are approx 1.25-1.5 times the torque requirements for the machine so can really change this to quite a lot more but didn't want to go mad. I will need to play with the tuning quite a bit to get the speed to an efficient rate.
