by 1600 driver do you mean you have a driver running in 1/16 microstepping mode?
unfortunately your 32 tooth pulley driving your belt is just about going to cancel out your 3:1 reduction. If I am reading your post correctly 1 turn of your reduction shaft is going to move your axis 160MM. Is this corrcet?
Once I am clear I can help you calculate your steps per. for Mach.
If it works.....Don't fix it!
