Hi Guys,
I have build my second machine and in general I'm very satisfied with the outcome.
In the beginning I used Mach3 (in both of them), now I'm Running a Second Hard drive with Linux and EMC2. And though I don't get much more speed, is a lot more stable (Mach hanged up on me a number of times)
The PC running my Table is a P IV with 1 GB of RAM and what I'm looking for is ....of course....SPEED ;-)
The question I have is This....
Even though my Motors can do 3000 mm/min easily without loosing steps, when running GCODE (specially 3D) i can get it to go faster than 400-550 mm/min. Would you guess this is a PC Hardware limitation ...... what would you recommend????
Thanks
