Stepper Motor tune with Mach3


Hey guys hoping to get some help . I have an old Taig Micromill 2000 . I believe it has 166 Oz steppers motors on it .
Recently I have re adjusted machine calibrated adjusted gibs . And looking to maximize motor tuning . In past I have played around with motor tuning but not had much luck to get both low toque and fast rapids . Where do you guys have your motor tune set at?

From my Old notes I think I ran machine in past at 8000 steps 30 velocity Accel 5 and step pulse 2.

Now im trying to dial in motors with no such luck. Here is where im at . I am running Mach3 software and have the Motors tuned somewhere in the 8000 steps 25-30 . Acc 4 step2
Am I like WAY OUT OF THE BALLPARK???

Now I do Suspect they may be running hot / allot slower however I do have the torque. I have played around with this but never able to have both worlds ( or the sweet spot) either I have the torque with slow acceleration or the acceleration is a tad too fast and it looses position.

Where is the best setting to get maximize feed rapids with decent torque WITHOUT loosing positioning.? looking for low torque power power with best rapid speeds . What setting would be best to achieve this?


Thanks

Anyone with a Taig Mill with steppers Running Mach3.

What setting do you use for Velocity and acceleration ?
Thanks

Kenny, If you haven't gotten your answer yet my settings are 8000 steps, 30 in/min Vel, and 6 on acceleration.
