Nothing on the machine itself no. Star earth point?

You should know this Dman you've been around long enough.!! . . . .Can't just throw this shit together and expect it to work perfectly.

Star point is the Single Earth point in the Control box that you should have for all Gnd's and Shields to return to. If not then your open to Earth loop problems.

Before you go ripping into it have you checked ALL vectors are closed in V Carve before you toolpath. (closed not grouped) DXF are a swine to mess you about when imported into V carve.

Whatever you do, get a continuous earth from the body of the spindle (If metal) or the mount back to the star point as mentioned, without this, any stray voltage is going to earth via you ballscrews, nuts and bearings - this is seriously bad news and can ruin balls in short time, use multi-strand wire similar to heavy speaker cable etc - flexible but lots of strands.
