Hi Hood,
I will try to bypass the BOB and see what happens. Part of the problem is that the guy who sold me the BOB won't respond to my questions so I don't know if there is a simple way to check that out. (Arturo Duncan @ cnc4pc.com, by the way).
Rich, I never really cared how fast the table ran, I just set things up so that the motors sounded good -- in the middle of their range. Since the problem I have tried speeding them up and slowing them down, but the sound (imagine a blender filled with gravel) gets worse in both directions. I have also tried adjusting the pulse debounce in both directions with no luck. The fact that it is happening with 2 of the 3 motors ought to be a clue, but I don't know how to read it. And it was working perfectly during its first real project, which it finished with no problem. Then when I tried to jog the Z higher to remove a clamp, it started. Weird.
Thanks again, Bob
