    Gary,

    I did look and my previous PC was setup for 20t pinions. I've never changed them. I tried looking at my screen shot of my new PCs settings to compare when I got home last night but apparently my screen shot was such poor res that I couldn't zoom in and see.

    Perhaps one of my values towards the bottom of the settings is set wrong. I'll double check and post an update when I get to the shop today. Unfortunately, I have a phone tech support call with Microsoft from 8-10a today as my laptop started freezing at startup after one of Microsoft's Win 10 updates. Some days tech helps, others it eats time!

    Do you by chance know if ShopBot would have put a different size pinion on the Z axis than whats on my X and Y?

    Also, I'm pretty bummed out that I missed your seminar back in August in River Falls. I guess that's what I get for not being so active on the forums. Had I known it was happening I would have been there for sure. Next time!

    Nate..
    Assuming the 10:1 motor has a 12mm shaft you could have 20, 25 or 30 tooth pinions installed. The ASM911's have a 14mm shaft and there is only a 20t that fits them. To get an accurate unit value you will have to verify which pinion you have installed.

    Sorry to have missed you at River Falls. Kyle has a great facility and there was a really good group of users there.

    Gary,

    So I got it figured out. At the bottom of my Unit Values in my new software, the Z Res Multiple was set to 4. In my old PC if was set to 1. I stopped at the shop this morning and changed it to 1. Quick ran a new C2 and now everything is working perfectly. Not sure what those multipliers are about at the bottom of the setup page but it's working which is all that matters!

    Thanks for all the input, I finally fixed something without waiting for SB support. Baby steps.

    That is the multiplier for steps produced between jogs (rapid) and moves (feed). The controller puts out 1/4 the number of steps for jogs as there would be for moves, and then programming in the drive multiplies it back.
