Thanks a lot guys!

Yes 300ipm / 8mpm/ is the speed i aim considering the tooling/price and the spindle speeds.

8 microsteping was what i had in mind. I have tested the PC upto 100Mhz as far as i remeber and it was Ok. With other BOB, but i assume will run with this also.

Anyways i will make to files for Mach3, one for 100ipm and one for 300ipm, as the guy is new to this, so at first untill he is aware what he is doing...


On my small commercial machine the z steps in mach3 was set to 10000? this is quite high micro stepping, thats why i wondered, on the other axis is 8 microstepping. reverse calculating it the microstepping in z is 256, i am not quite sure now for the 10000 but it was ridiculously high.
