did you figure out why you lost resolution? and do you recall the user on ebay for the gear boxes? I got my new controller and am looking to go gear box 10:1 with my dual gantry drive servo's on my plasma, and im probably just going to use CandCNC for the router build too I already have 4 extra 850 ox servo motors, and they sure are customer friendly, (I had been thinking of going with a complete conversion from someone)
