General Mach Discussion / Screw drive to belt
« on: June 10, 2008, 10:18:07 PM »
Hello,
Have been using Mach3 for over a year, great program!! Anyway, to pick up the pace, I am converting my screw drives to belt. My steppers are tuned to optimal performance never had a problem. However, with the new belt drive, I move 6 inches versus 1 inch with the old screw.
My question is,
How do I set Mach 3 so it displays (measures) 6 inches of movement instead of 1 in the axis travel (X Y Z display)? When I run the auto calibrate it just sets the stepper to super slow. What am I missing??
Thanks!
