I bought a Chinese TS-4060-H80

My first fight was making it work and now ot is working with a pc running xp and mach 3
I got the configuration from this site and it worked after a bit of tunning

I got my first dxf, made the gcode file in MeshCam and tested

During the test the machine sometimes losses steps on the X direction during the rapid moment between shapes, Y looks ok and Z i think its ok too.

When it loses the steps i can hear a diferent noise from the steppers like they are sliping or somethin:drowning::drowning:g.

Anyone can help me diagnose the problem? And how to fix it?
thank you

After many testing and deleting programs from the machine controling the router it stopped skipping steps...

Which programs did you need to delete?

[tcarita]

The computer is not mine but i removed, anti virus, firewall, real time encryption, mess anger, skype and a couple of others that were slowing really down the machine.
