Generally, increase the Velocity until the motor stalls then reduce the Velocity by 30%. The Acceleration should initially be set at 10% of the Velocity figure.
After that 'trial and error' may be used for tuning to obtain best, reliable, performance.

The Mach3 manual (Section 5 and 5.5 in particular) details the setting-up procedure  http://www.machsupport.com/help-learning/product-manuals/

Hi,
guessing these are 34 size steppers about 900 ozin?

Steppers lose torque big time when running fast, at 1000 rpm they are likely to have on 5% of rated torque.

Probably wise to say that max speed is 500 rpm. If you use 5mm pitch ballscrews then max axis speed is 5 times 500=2500mm/min.

You can experiment but this should get you close enuf to start with.

The torque fall off is primarily due to back EMF reducing the current to the motors. Higher voltage drives and power supply make a big difference. My machine has 80 volt drives and a 68volt power supply. I am running a job right now at 3000 mm/m and slowed it down from 4000 only because there are lots of small details.
