Hi guys, I have a small 600x300x75 CNC router that I made my own toolholder for so I can do alloy when i'm up to the challenge. However right now Im just doing styrofoam and MDF with a high speed laminate cutter (Hardcore makita one) in the spindle as I get my skills up. It seems no matter what i do, even going from 1/4 step to 1/2 step, I can't get any reasonably fast speed out of it without it eventually missing a massive step and ending up way over the other side of the table, way above the work piece, or something completely stupid.
If I slow down, its fine, but I shouldn't be on 600mm/minute on foam. The Z axis seems a bit tight but other then that its often the x or y axis that goes stupid.
The motors are nema 23's but maybe really dodgey ones, is there any way to boost power to those motors, increase the speed, or anything at all you can suggest, as I don't believe my controller board can take hugely bigger motors.
