General Mach Discussion / Mach3 settings
« on: December 19, 2008, 10:26:17 AM »
I have read the documentation, but I'm not sure about some settings.
I have a 269 oz. stepper motor with 200 steps and set the jumpers to 1/8 microstep - thus 1600 steps.
The lead screw is 1/4-20 allthread.
Under motor tuning, do I enter 1600 steps or (1600 x 20)?
Also I have a XP desktop 1.2 ghz computer. I have been running Mach 4 at 25,000hz. Should I try 35,000 or greater?
I built a wood cnc router table using Rockcliff Model A plans and am using 269 oz. in. motors.
Can anyone tell me what kind of velocity and acceleration that others have used?
Thanks for your help.
