Thanks for the reply. I have two controllers, DMC-1760 and a DMC-2182. I have both ICM 1900 and ICM 2900. I am using Compumotor OEM 650 microstepping drives. The reason that I went this route is I got bitten twice in the G100 fiasco, so I figured that I would invest in a controller that could do it all. From what I have read about the smooth stepper, it seems to be somewhat of a vaporware product with a lot of promises for development at later date. Been there, done that. Since I have already invested in stepper motors and drives, I decided to go ahead and use them. Servo motors and drives seem to be somewhat hard to find and very high priced when you do find them. I am going to use one setup on a 3 axis mill and the other on a plasma table. The plasma table is the one which will need the slave/gantry setup.
