Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Maxnc - don't buy it!

hi mike,

on cncpro the acceleration/deceleration (ramping function) is found in the
setup menu under the calibration sub menu, as well as the maximum output
speed for each axis. adjust those appropietly and you shouldn't stall your
axis anymore.

cheers,
doug
