Hi Bob
im not sure what is going on but things look a bit unusual for a lathe Gcode
first of all is your X axis your cross slide, and z axis your parallel to the bed axis( long axis)
where is your part datum set and are X and z axis zeroed to that
g50 is not supported so you can get rid of that all though I don't think it's causing your problem. Maybe it's a syntax issue try
G01 Z-0.7 F0.01

Hi Bob,
Had a look at your Gcode file and made some changes I wasn't sure if you were imperial or metric but guess imperial.
The G50 is not supported but you can use S to set the speed.
I put the G90 at the beginning of the file for convenience but that's just me.
It is best to use 1 line per gcode instruction as sometimes the 2nd gcode may be ignored or maybe the entire line.
I added a G0 to the Z.25 but I just like to be tidy and Masso will remember the previous modal Gcode.
When it came to G1 Z-.7 F.01 you had the axis did not step over it as you experienced, but embarked on an agonizing 95 minute move at 0.01" per minute. I changed the feedrate to F0.9 for my test file so that it would finish the move in my lifetime ;-)
Total machine time for the Gcode below 1:07 minutes with the G1 taking the 95% of the time to complete it's move.
G20
G90
T2 M6
S1750
G0 X-8.9595
G0 Z.25
G1 Z-.7 F0.9
G0 Z2.

I have uploaded the file for you to try and see if it runs for you as it did on mine. If it doesn't you may have some setting wrong in your setup.
You may need to upload your settings file.
I tested this using Lathe Version 3.46 and I am assuming you have a Masso G3.
Hope this helps
Cheers

Hi Bob
The version is in the top right hand corner of every screen ans in the bottom left hand corner of the F1 screen. You should also have received the latest version 3.47.4 yesterday.
Please check and let me know the version you are currently running as I'm not sure what version came out when. I'm guessing 3.41 and maybe there is a bug in it.
Please update to the latest and give a try. If it is still not working I will load your settings and test. You may have it sorted before I get home from work.

It's specific to the machine Arie and I have the reset here for my machine. I've been locked out more times that I care to think about.
I just don't want the hassle of resetting it. I'd rather just get the password and figure out the problem if I can. I got very lucky with one last night and guessed the password but if it isn't HTG or Blank I'm usually stuck.
I like a challenge but there are limits.
Thanks for the offer.

Ho Bob @masbobso
I have now had a look at your settings file and have located the problem
Under General Settings you have set a maximum feedrate to 0 ipm.
The result is that since it cannot move on a G1 command it steps over the line.
Remove the check from the Maximum Feedrate box or put a suitable value in the Maximum allowed feedrate box and you will be able to move using G1 commands.
See the Screen print below.
