Hello to all,
I have a 6040 800W CNC mill and sometimes the X and Y axis skip steps. I've uploaded a video to YouTube so you can have a listen and you can also see it if you look closely. Here's the link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_sPRkuZTso
I've tried many different settings, in MACH 3 and in CamBam (which makes the GCode) with no success. I'm not sure weather the problems lies in the parallel port (the parallel port is built onto the motherboard), or with the power supply, the driver boards, or the settings in MACH 3.
I'm running Windows XP 32 bit. MACH 3 is the only software installed and I run my GCode from a USB stick.
Here's a few images of the settings in MACH 3;

If anyone has any ideas I'll be glad to have this problem behind me.
Thanks,
Matt
