General Mach Discussion / Re: Loosing steps or backlash
« on: September 20, 2010, 03:36:20 PM »Mine was originally running 2500mm/min with accel of 40mm/s/s so that would equate to 100IPM and 1.57inch/s/s
After a while however I was not so hell bent on rapids but looked at increasing the accel, I dropped the rapids down a bit, think to about 2200mm/min(86 IPM) and was able to get the accel up to I think 120mm/s/s (4.7 I/S/S)
But as said that is with modern steppers of 916ozin.
I havent used the Bridgeport for probably six or more months as since I finished my Beaver NC5 mill going back to the Bridgeport would make me cry

You can ship it over to me if you want, I wouldn't want you to be upset and break down in tears!
