Mach3 settings

I have read the documentation, but I'm not sure about some settings.
I have a 269 oz. stepper motor with 200 steps and set the jumpers to 1/8 microstep - thus 1600 steps.
The lead screw is 1/4-20 allthread.
Under motor tuning, do I enter 1600 steps or (1600 x 20)?
Also I have a XP desktop 1.2 ghz computer. I have been running Mach 4 at 25,000hz. Should I try 35,000 or greater?
I built a wood cnc router table using Rockcliff Model A plans and am using 269 oz. in. motors.
Can anyone tell me what kind of velocity and acceleration that others have used?
Thanks for your help.

Hi, Dave
32.000 steps per should do it, Vel & Acl values, Start low and increase till you get a feel for your Machine, Say vel 20 Acl 5 to start with.
I'd leave it at the 25 K for now.
Hope this Helps, Chip

You enter 32,000 for steps per unit.
If you need more speed than 25KHz will give you (46.875ipm) then you will need to go to a faster Kernel. 35KHz would potentially give you 65.625IPM and 45KHz 84.375IPM.
Whether you will achieve these speeds I dont know but trial and error will give you that answer
