Bright side, at least it cut the whole thing this time.... As Derek said, might be java. Try updating java, or if you have, remove it then reinstall it. if using windows 7 or 10 make sure windows is not powering off the usb port! (https://www.windowscentral.com/how-prevent-windows-10-turning-usb-devices) if you’re using a laptop, ensure that it is plugged in, preferably to a grounded outlet using a 3 prong plug if possible if you’re using a USB extension cable or unpowered USB hub, please directly connect the machine directly using a shorter than 6 foot USB cable — if your cable doesn’t have a toroid (metal cylinder often molded into the end of the cable) and you have a cable which has that feature, try it try a different USB port, esp. if you have the option to switch from USB3 to USB2 — if using a laptop try a powered USB hub — some laptops undervolt the USB ports to save power. if your router power cable doesn’t have a toroid, try adding one (note that what seems to be a toroid on a Dewalt DWP611 is actually an anti-theft device on all the ones I’ve seen) if possible, connect the router and the machine through a different circuit if you have a surge protector, please connect the machine through it Try to route the USB cable AWAY form all other wires. I have a short 3ft extension on mine that goes UNDER the machine from the left to the right then into a shielded USB cable to the PC. It really does sound like a noise issue causing the lock up. will it run the pattern WITHOUT the spindle/router on? Raise the Z to mid point, set that as 0 then run the file.....eliminate 1 thing at a time... I still have some issues with it. It doesn't stall anymore, but after i do a project the respond time is horrid...i hit home and it takes 30sec to start homing. I have switch the usb cable to disable the shut off and that stopped that issue . But i'm still happy i can cut some things now...will post my first project after the paint dries... thanks again for everyone help

I think I finally got it. I used the USB cord that came with it the very short one, and i could run two jobs in a row with no issue. So i just placed an order for the longer version Derek .

Make sure the power cord from the router is placed as far away from the electronic controls as you can get. Electrical noise from the power cord can cause erratic behavior.

I was also going to ask if it happen with the router off. I hate it's up to that again but I sure don't mind working through things with you.

Ok so I ran the project with the router off, no issues ran the whole hour and 10 mins i think it was... Turned the router on and 4 mins in stall. here is a short video of how i have it set up. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFOC83XZx8ESorry for the poor quality, I'm not a "youtube allstar" I have move the usb to the back of the machine and started the project over again. Work one issue at a time right? I will update you on how the next step goes...thx again for all the help

So I moved the usb to the back of the machine ran the whole project fine. then moved it down and actually cut it, worked great. Put in another project worked good. Started another project and 6 mins in it stalled. Figure that one out...lol
This thing is so confusing me.....

I think the router is just throwing a lot of electrical noise. Adding a powered USB hub will help with noise immunity. I’d suggest that.
