Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Lathe threading

RE: Microkinetics

The software has no ramping in jog mode - won't work with the NEMA42
steppers without losing steps or stalling. I couldn't get more than about 6
IPM jog speed.

I had endless trouble with their hardware too. My Driverack was so badly
wired it lost its smoke twice. I have rewired it and it works ok now. Also
had to send two of the three motors back due to bearing problems. Their
service is admittedly good but gecko has better amps for a third of the
price. The MK microstepping amps are a nice design but the current setback
is proportional and doesn't match up to big motors very well. My mill stalls
above 60 IPM, even with cncpro.
