When you say mill are you meaning a router type machine ?
Numbers seems to be all over the place.
Is the motor layout like this ?
1 on Z axis
1 on Y axis
2 on X axis (X on one side and A on the other ?)
If they are then X and A should have the same settings for a start because they have to work in harmony, the velocity and acceleration on A are too high.
If the machine can't physically achieve the settings you've put it will loose stepsLast edited by EddyCurrent; 02-11-2014 at 09:40 PM.
