Z Axis still moving while next XY Gcode issued?

Hi,

My X and Y have the same step configuration but my Z axis does not.

When cutting, sometimes it appears that the Z axis is still moving up (say to clearance) when the next G code to move X and/or Y is issued. I think there was some error box displayed while running my gcode.

Why would my Z still be moving when it has not finished the command and it is starting to process the next command. The result is my wood work has wrong cuts as Z is still moving.

Any help would be greatful,

Regards,

You might want to post a copy of the g code and double check if there is an error code and what that error code is.

it sounds more of a miss configured axis , usually for example the velocity is too high , or trying to run the axis at too high a speed
that it's not capable of holding

post the error , they are their for a reason
it's quite normal to run the z axis at a lower rate then the others as it's having to move against gravity and hold position
perhaps post your hal and ini files as an attachment so we can rule them out also
