    I did my first project with a diamond drag bit today and UGS did something today didn't see before
    as the router finished I noticed that in the console that the g-code was running behind and that in the visualizer the tool was also lagging behind in fact it took about 5 min to finish. Can anyone tell me what would cause that I am running the latest version .

    Buffers. Grbl has a buffer of 15 moves, UGS might have its own buffer too. When its 'finished' it finished filling the buffers, job ran until the buffers was depleted too

    Nope all as designed.
    Buffer help the motion planner do its job. Prevents controllers from being starved of data
