I have finally setup my mill that I have owned for quite a while. The problem that I am having is the Y-axis is loosing steps in the Y negative direction...
Hi, It sounds like it might be a problem with software if you have no load on the axis. If you are running Mach3, then you need at least a 1.4GHz computer....
I have a P4 2.8 CPU, and the only thing on the unit is Mach 3. Will make sure nothing is running in background. I have trade the stepper motors on the X-axis...
Here are a few other things to check. Have you done the Mach optimization steps? http://machsupport.com/downloads/XP_Optimization.txt You can also run the Mach...
I traded the x and y-axis leads on the plugs into board. The skipping moved with the y-axis lead to the x-axis. The y-axis runs correctly and the x-axis is...
... moved with the y-axis lead to the x-axis. The y-axis >runs correctly and the x-axis is skipping. You swapped the inputs to the board or the outputs? ... ...
William If you switched leads and it followed then it is a drive thing. Double check your vref setting and see if the X and Y match. Almost sounds like you are...
It depends on if he swapped the inputs to the drives or outputs. If you swap outputs and the problem stays on the same machine axis then the problem is in the...
I took the plugs from the axis and swapped them on back of controller box. I changed y to 10 IPM with the same results. You can hear the stepper motor making a...
Ok, so now you know that the motors and machine are OK. The problem is in the drive, PC, or parallel port cable. Judging by your driver test I would bet the...
Hi, OK, you have the X axis now skipping. I'm assuming that is the X axis on the mill? If I understand correctly, you are now driving the mills X axis with...
185 IPM? Really? Didn't look like it in the video. Is it just me? Anyone else have an opinion? ... -- Ron Thompson Riding my '07 XL883C Sportster On the...
... it sounded similar to my motors going 60ipm... but maybe his are at a different microstepping. who knows... [Non-text portions of this message have been...
Might be different ratios on the screws. My machine is belt drive, so I can't compare sound, just motion. ... -- Ron Thompson Riding my '07 XL883C Sportster On...

I'm not making it up. I'm using 1/2-8 2 start acme. 6400 steps/inch with 1/8 microstepping. PacSci 253 oz bipolar series @ 24volts. Running Mach3. The Y axis...

Yep, scale always helps! ... -- Ron Thompson Riding my '07 XL883C Sportster On the Beautiful Florida Space Coast, right beside the Kennedy Space Center, USA ...

looking at the video it should does look like about 30ipm but when you do a little math. Lets say the gantry is 30" that would mean at 30ipm it would take 1...
Ok I've read till I can't see straight BUT.... can someone break it down into simple noob terms. I have the 3-axis board running the 425 motors. I have it...
Dave, I see that you have not received a reply from others, so I wanted to see if I can help a little. I am not qualified to get too technical, but I have run...
