Stop in middle of carve

Why does the machine stop 1/2 way through carve?

My guess would be some type of electrical enterferance.

Also could be from dust collector if you are running one.

That happens frequently do to electrical interference. Here are some suggestions:
Use a good quality shielded usb cable
do not have your router cable running along with your stepper motor cables
plug in your router, shop vac and any other ancillary devices into a different outlet as your controller
and finally. don’t have your controller plugged into the same circuit as a refrigerator, freezer,air conditioner or air compressor. (when the compressor in these devices first turn on it drops the line voltage significantly for a moment.

I had the same issue for a bit. Once I plugged my shop vac into a separate outlet it stopped. I now leave the outlet my machine runs on completely dedicated to the machine.
