The micro stepping is adjustable. It can be 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 or 1/16. It is also odd that they recommend the 35000Hz instead of the 25000Hz Mach recommends. It will work I am just not sure why Mach recommends the lower setting.

   Thanks for the reply to the questions. Dont take it personally, CNC and Mach 3 are complicated and it will take a little while to become familiar with the settings.

   You didnt state the voltage but I am guessing 24vdc.

   Are the steppers installed on the router?

   You are running this off of a computer with a parallel port, correct?

   The machine moves 1 unit (1mm in your case) during a keystroke? (just for your information, the size of the step is adjustable in increments x1, x10, x100, x1000. Access these variables by pressing the "Tab" key. A flyout will appear.)

  My first suspicion is that the accel is too high, it will be under motor tuning. Change the level (accel not velocity) in half and see what happens.

  Maybe a little more info too. You say router? Ball screws or belts? What is the gearing ratio? or how many turns to travel 1 unit?

   Also the micro stepping value. (this might be fixed on that controller, I will read the manual quickly)

Continuous jogging mode should be just that, continuous.

What is your motor tuning set to?

Is it a 1.8 degree stepper or .9? Could it be the stepper stalling?

Have you ever had this combo working before? Do you have any prior experience with Mach3 and or motion control?

What voltage are you running the TP6560 on? (is it a TB or TP?)

Are you saying the stepper makes 1 revolution or 1 step if you hit the key once? If it is a step, how are you measuring it?

Do you any micro stepping value set or is it adjustable?

I just figured out what you have been saying. I saw the updated users manual. Disappointing but I do have an extra 5v supply in the cabinet that will work.

Are you running a VFD or inverter?

The shuttle express is hard to beat, cheap and effective.

Do you have the outputs configured in Mach?
