Re: [Emc-users] Stepper motor performance, G71,G72,G73 cycles

Thanks for the discussion on stepper motor performance. We have all confirmed that the limit in speed lies not in the software, but in the motor and its supply voltage. That's what I wanted to be sure about. I want to start another subject: G71,G72,G73 cycles for lathes. I have been using
