Greetings; One of the things I am noticing, when running this crippled Z drive at various speeds, is that up to about 3/4 rps at its shaft, it moves dead silently, but by 2 rps, its rattling tools off the table, exactly as if is was being full stepped, and it doesn't become at all smooth again until its moving the head at 25 ipm or more, then stalls at just under 48 ipm.
2 related questions then; This is a DM860 drive. It it known to drop the microstepping at an unusually low rps? I'm looking at the DQ2722MA, 110-220VAC, 7.0A, 200 Microstep, driver/psu combined, which is 110-250 volt AC powered, which would remove the 350 watter doing that job now, but its close to $185 in a box on my front deck. So by the time I get the 906 oz motor Greg B. recommends, and hang some counterweighting springs on this thing I'll have close to $300 USD in solving this problem once and for all. What say you folks? Will this truly solve it? Thank you all. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
