Neale, I have changed the max current on the drivers from 3.5A to 2A and the job ran all the way through both the roughcut 30mins and the finish 1h35m YIPPEE...........

Ok, so without getting too excited as I obviously will try the job again to prove a cure, but what are the consequences for the machine of me reducing the max current through the driver?

Would it be worth me stripping the driver apart to make sure that the chips are heat sinked correctly?

Earle It will depend on the load you put the machine under ie bigger dia tools or DOC feed rate etc. I am sure your machine would benefit from better drivers with a higher voltage PS supply. It looks like the drivers were overheating and shutting down. ..Clive
