Hi Garth,
If your motor drive is set for 25,000 steps per revolution and your lead-screw requires 5 turns to progress 1 inch and you want to travel at 40 inches per minute then...
In Mach3 Motor Tuning 25,000 x 5 = 125,000 Steps per unit : Velocity = 40 : Acceleration 18 (or so).
Also check that you have Mach3 configured for Inches and not mm.
