Hi Dave
I ran that here without any hesitation in the motion. I did remove the
tool changes and the great long moves to them. The total time was about
40 seconds. Final image is at

Sounds to me like you've got some computer or realtime issue. Perhaps
an
Duh! edit those rates to ipm.

Hi Dave
I'm going to guess that you meant 4ipm. With that small a helix even
with your Mazak you'd be hard pressed to get 240 ipm.
I ran your code snippet here and it whizzed through. But then it isn't
even a complete circle.
