I’m starting to suspect Mach’s gcode viewer is truncating the file, causing you to not see the Y moves. Use a good text editor to view it instead (e.g. vscode).

Thanks Todd, downloading it now…

Is your Mach3 is configured for steps per inch instead of mm?

@Todd_Fleming .+Todd Fleming thanks, todd, with VSCode, I could see the remaining y axis moves. I was viewing it in the std windows NotePad. I didn’t realise that NotePad would remove or omit certain data from a file…

@Jim_Fong Hi Jim, no, I have mach3 configured for steps/mm

@Marc_Erasmus I ran your test gcode and yes it runs slow but it isn’t what you think. Mach3 runs spindle “S” gcode really slow. There is a slight delay after running a spindle command. Since each line contains a “S” command, it’s not going to run fast.

Over at Picengrave, they use the faster M gcode to turn on/off the laser with Mach3.
