Hi Jim I am running 3 ea Gecko 203V "Vampire Drives"
2 ea G-STEP-II Dual Gecko Stepper Interface Cards
I have a 16 tooth gear and a 16 pitch rack one rev on the gear appears to move 3.0"
I'm sorry if I sound I just am not understanding the issue sometimes things need time to sink in. I understand the number is not negotiable. I have set up to mills and a lathe with a flashcut system and they are just fine. The rack is kicking me
so when you say 16 tooth and 16 pitch one rev should be 1" that is not the case.
In the mach manual it talks about diametrical pitch
I hope you have enough to help.
Thanks John
