Thanks for reply, yes I am in the U.K., Somerset. Will do the new report later today and post.

Hi, thanks again for replying. Last night I updated C12 with a clean installation. I used the preset clear path setting and set the microsteps both on the stepper driver and within C12 to 4000. At the start C12 was showing steps per revolution at 5.08 which I know is wrong as it takes the motor ...

Thanks. However if you look at the picture from the manual it looks to me that if you are cutting the movement of the bed is traveling in the negative direction and not the positive. so if you press X+ the table moves towards X-. I am asking if this is the same for the Y axis. screenshot ...

In the manual, it states that if you Jog X+ the table moves towards X-. However it does not explain the Y movement. The Z axis movement is the same for any milling machine. But what about that Y ? is it the same as the X axis, if I jog Y+ the bed moves towards Y- or is it like the Z axis, in which ...

Thanks to you all, one more problem sorted.
