Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Gecko 210 VS 201 difference?

Kim,

In my case, I did not think that my pc could generate enough pulses using
the 201 (2,000 pulse per revolution) to move my cnc router at the rated
(inches/minute) that I wanted my CNC router to run at.

I set my 210 to 1,000 pulses per revolution and my CNC router ran fine.

Currently I am using a 201 for my Z axis.

If you are going to run a small mill, the 201 will be fine.
