I recently installed the 4th Axis on my X4, and just had some time to play with it. I don't know if I have it set up right. I set it up so one full revolution is 360 units in Mach3, and that seems to be accurate, but it is way too slow. This can't be right. I cranked the feed up to 400 and it was still way slow.

Also, I ran a program that would make a shallow(.03") helical cut along some bar stock, and right after it started to cut, the 4th axis stopped turning. Mach3 still thought it was turning, so its almost like it was slipping or something.

Do I have something set wrong? or is that normal? I hope its not normal.

Thanks for any help.
