Thread: Help with settings!

I plugged up my machine for the first time tonight. I'm running:
4Nm Stepper Motor
CW8060 6A Driver
HG07 Breakout Board
All connected to my PC running Mach3.
I've just tested it with the Z-Axis motor and it does seem to work, however the motor is way too slow! It is also slower than the units/mm readout. So I assume I need to adjust settings somewhere. I tried 1/8 and 1/10 microstepping, both give a similar result. If I run the auto-tuning routine it gave me 6666.66 steps per unit (mm). However it then limited me on the maximum speed to around 400.
Has anybody else got the same kit and can you tell me some good default settings?
Thanks!
