Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] supertech

Not familiar with Supertech.

What are the electronics? Are they generic like Geckos and a standard parallel port interface? If so, I'd try Mach3 for control software.

has ANYONE on this list ever gotten the supertech stepper motor setup

and trashing the workpiece?

I've had a supertech stepper motor mill for almost 4 years...and to
date I still have yet to get my reject rate below 80%. Seems like
almost every workpiece it will drop a step or two, and there is a
randomness to which axis or at what point. I've readjusted everything
on the mill for silky-smooth action, and even run it with the nuts and
gibs set loose. Doesn't seem to make a difference. The controller box
has been replaced once already.

I would dearly love to know what setups others are using...maxnc,
microproto, imsrv, and what results they have had.

Thank you.
