help on steps
«

When going from single start to 5 start screws - My steps were always 2000 before, how do I know what to change it to now?
I am very happy how smooth the X & Y axis run with the new screws. I will change out the screw for the Z axis another day. Right now just want to know how to calculate my steps with the 5 start screws.
Thanks!!!!
