Charles, what is your normal rapid speeds in X-Y and Z with this
setup? Also how hot do the motors run?

Max NC machines are notorious for having very slow speeds. They are
popular because of low price and seem to work with adjustment, but
reportedly are slow.

Are you saying that you purchased a new Sherline CNC ready mill (list
price $750) through a dealer for $660? And Added :

"CLOSE LOOP 3 AXIS MOTION CONTROL SYSTEM WITH SINGLE STACK MOTORS
(as used in the MAXNC 10 CL machine)…………………..…………..$ 875.00 "

For a total list price of $1625 plus shipping?

Are you booting to dos to run the MaxNC software on your WinXP
computer?
