    Slow Zone problem

    I thought about putting this in the Mach3 forum but thought some of you may have had this problem before. The vid explains it, slow zone works on the Z axis perfect but the X and Y slow zones do not work at all. Anyone know what's causing this ?

    Thanks!

    BTW: My machine is still a work in progress as you can see

    Have you got the soft limits button turned on? did you reference the machine prior to attempting to test the soft limits and slow zone?

    Yes, soft limits are on and set. Yes, I referenced home first. The soft limits are working, when the gantry slams to a stop, that's the soft limits. It's not hitting any hard physical stops. It's just that the slow zones on these 2 axis don't seem to work. They work perfect on all axis on my X2 mill, different profile of course.
