No problem at all I'm sure. He's happy to see people interested in the EMC
project.

Wow. I was figuring you could do 50-60 min. Old stepper Bridgeports do 75 ipm
and they have a 2:1 reduction between the motor and the screw as well as
running in unipolar mode. I'm wondering, if you upped your power supply
voltage to 36V from 24V, if that would help. Your using that supply from H&R
right?
