Thanks to everyone for your input. THe problem has been solved...yep, Centroid encoder did the trick. That was a very expensive lesson for me, but one well learned.

Re: Threading issues..still
I checked the alarm by changing the input to normally open and when the z m oved it got a 9031 drive fault. I changed it back and it works.

Re: Spindle encoder issues continuation
One last question, since it is a weekend, is there any way to thread without the Lathepro license? I will purchase one immediately but I need it this weekend..
