Thanks Peter,
It did help a small bit. Max f-error is now .00014 to .00015 (vs .00018 to
.00019). That is a sensitive parameter. I played with FF2 = .001 (bad), .0006
(bad), .00055 ok but ferror was .00016-.00017, so I left it at .0005.

And for those following along at home, I got the machine set up in velocity

the machine runs very nicely, and I can now Home to the index pulse on the

Thanks for the response. The machine has been running great for years on those

of the step-gen parameters would need to change when changing to velocity

Hello!
I have a strange situation:
Stepper motor of Z axis on a cnc router is losing it's position -
doing a series of numerous holes in material will end up with various
depths of holes.
The strange part is:
1) for each time, when machine is running, it will lose position only
in one direction;
If the holes are deeper doesn't it means that the motor is making more
steps and not less ?
Is it possible that you have extra steps due to noises or bad connections

Even an 8-pole alternator would only have 32 full steps/rev.
The biggest problem with stepper motors is they are designed to have
a given DC resistance so that some DC voltage can be applied without
the current going it infinity when the motor is stopped. That
resistance is why they get hot.
