Hi
I'm new to this forum and I'm trying to use the STEPS PER UNIT CALCULATOR. I'm quite new to CNCing and I'm spanish so excuse my ignorance and eventual language barrier.
I have a chinese 3 axis 40x30 machine with a JK02-M5 Breakout board, 2M542 Stepper Motors, and a Dell Optiplex 745 dedicated computer.
The Balls screws on my machine are "1204"
I work in metric units.
My first question is: in the section "leadscrew" of the STEPS PER UNIT CALCULATOR would "pitch" be 12 or 04? Same for "lead".
My 2nd question is: do I have to fill the lower section of the calculator and if so, how? (feed, Stepper RPM, Pulse/sec, Distance vs Steps)
Thanks a lot for your help
Cheers
Sono
