Jerry;

I too have a Shoptask that I've added CNC to, and I'm VERY familiar
with Dan's kits. I may be able to help you here.

Unfortunately, I'm getting into the middle of this discussion as I
don't necessarily read every single post.

First question: which Shoptask do you have ? ( I have a 17/20 - or
whatever it's called - the 1999 model.)

Second question: are you still using the stock leadscrews ?

Third question: very important - are you using the stock PULLEYS ?

Fourth question: can you describe the stepper controller board ? One
large board with three channels on it or three smaller boards, one
board per channel ?
