@Miss-Rebekah If you are shutting off the VIN supply then the undervoltage warning is to be expected. I cant remember which firmware version that introduced the warnings.

@deckingman
awesome thanks!! dont know why i couldn't find that page in my search. im surprised that little screw terminal can handle 6A.

@miss-rebekah

i figured it out since I'm using work offsets for tools i wasn't calling a tool number once i did that m3 works

Do the external drivers have their own setting for microsteps? The M350 command can only set the microstepping for drivers it can communicate with over SPI, like the internal drivers. If your external drivers can only take step. direction, and enable signals, the setting is irrelevant. Or perhaps you are using an external trinamic that takes SPI signal as well?

@miss-rebekah I'm a machinist too (30 years in aerospace) . I think it's important to realize the value in the Duet. I dont think it was ever intended to be a full feature cnc controller (although it is quite capable) rather the focus is on 3d printing. For less than $150 it is extremely powerful but it does lack a a tad in the cnc department but continualy improved. I assume if you are going single block you are not doing the programming were here you will program so you already know what the machine is supposed to do next. Although there is no feed hold (before the buffer runs out) that I am aware of you can set up an emergency stop button that will keep you from tearing anything up. If you want your router to act like your machine at work I would suggest looking at Acorn or Oak but be prepared to pay a lot more for those additional features you mentioned. I say give it a try and I'll think those few things will become a non issue. Duet and RRF is very user friendly once you get past the learning curve and it's all g code so I think you'll feel very comfortable with it.
