Re: bridgeport stepper motor specs - help

Other than a couple of details, you can consider them pretty similar
to the Geckos. I have to get to my BP to find the settings. I'll
try to get them to you this weekend.

BTW, I have elected to slow things down to 100 ipm for max speed.
One of the reasons for the speed on my tool is probably that the
table runs on liear rails rather than dovetails.
