Hi, Im doing a CNC conversion to my new X2. Im mounting my 425 in/oz stepper to the left side of the X axis using a custom mounting plate and a helical coupler. I can't seem to get above about 20 IPM before i start to loose steps. I have aligned the screw as parallel to the table movement as possible, but above 20 IMP it still seems to "stall" at times. Im using a 36v PSU and the 3a, 40v Keling drivers with Mach3. Is 20 IPM what i should be seeing here? Should i be happy with this? Also, should i be able to stop the handle turning by hand when the axis is moving?
Thanks for any help!
