Mach3 under Vista / Changing stepper motors with more amp draw
« on: December 10, 2018, 01:58:06 PM »
Hi all,

Very green to all of this,  so bear with me...

We replaced our green 3 amp stepper motors on the X axis with 5 amp stepper motors. Once running the machine started tapering X axis cuts. We are going to change all 4 motors on the table to the black 5 amp motors. Is there anything we need to change in Mach 3 to make for a smooth transition?  Both motors have 200 steps per rev. Running Windows 7 Ultimate.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

thanks in advance.
