Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] CAM Software and Hardware

Yes the steppers are 144 oz-in.
The computer is a P200MMX running Windows 98
Steppers are phase

The software allows you to set the max speed. I set it low with the thought
that upon satisfactory performance I would increase it. Is this perhaps
just a case of I have it set to slow?

Thanks,

Mark
