Dan,

I have tried that, I even have the jumper over for the larger 42 sized motors. I think that I need more reduction, as 0.1mm is only 6.8 steps. Which means that it is really only 0.68 steps without microstepping, and they say that microstepping isn't that accurate etc. So I really think that I need a much larger reduction.

At the moment it is about 2.57:1.

From what you did it now does sound more line a resonance/ midband
stabilization problem. Have you tried adjusting the G201 trim pot ? Simply
run the motor at the speed that is giving you the problem and adjust the
trim pot. If this adjustment doesn't help at all or neally not at all then
open up the G201 case and set the jumper to the Nema42 setting. I have
found some nema34 motors that require this change and it make a heck of a
difference.
