I notice on stepper charts for speed vs torque that the bigger the motor the 
lower the 
RPM at max. Looking at the Nema 23 STP-Mtr-23079 from Automation Direct the 
Chart stops at 1350 RPM.

Will the steppers go faster or is that about as fast as a 276 oz-in holding 
torque, 
2.8 A/phase, 1.8 degrees / fullstep (200 steps/revolution), NEMA size 23 motor 
will 
go?

At 1350 RPM provided I can have low enough friction to go that fast and a 10 to 
1 
pitch screw driven 1 to 1 from the stepper I can get 135 inches per minute, 
right?

How cricitical is the acceleration of the motor to not loosing steps?

In stepper_inch.ini the MAX_ACCELERATION = 20.0
Is that number inches per minute?

The intergrater manual says it is in user units per second per second. I don't 
understand that, can anyone say that in common talk?

My thought is to use the Xylotex board with the above motor for X and Y and a 
much smaller motor for Z again this is a portable plasma table...

Thanks
John
