Tension Jerks on manual movement

[Ken32960]

@bar

I know exactly what you are talking about. Generally I have the router bit out of the wood before starting to run gcode to avoid that, but if the router bit is in contact with the wood when the program starts it will jerk like that as it wakes up. Are you creating these squares using the jog command buttons?

Yes, hense the title (sorry could not resist).

Thanks for the extended update, makes me feel bad about the dig above

Oh, zeroing the Z. With the Kobalt I can’t run it all the way down because of the locking pin. See my note on zero setting… Maslow4 - how to do bit changes? - #23 by Ken32960

BTW I have been meaning to say what a great job you two have done to put this multiple discipline project together. It is an outstanding accomplishment!!! It even worked the first try. More than I can say about many of my projects.
