I have 3 ballscrews for the 3 axes. (X-Y-Z)
Screw Dia.--- Screw Lead --- Long--- Starts
5/8 in ----------- 13/64 -------- 42in ------ 1
1 in --------- 1/4 --------- 48in ------ 1
12mm --------- 2mm ----------- 30mm ------- 1
I being reading Mach 3 user guide, it helps, but, Do I need to use some kind of reduction gearing "gear box or timing belts and pulleys belts".
Or I can connect direct to the steps motor to the screws
The step motors are 300 oz/in with 10us steps.
I'm just want to use for wood milling or router.
I will prefer to use in mm units.
When I calculated the mach3 steps per unit, using inches units one of the ballscrews gave me 25400 ( I think they are pulses). Soo.. Do I need to increases the frequenzy to 35000Hz?
I know if I use gear box I will increase the torque but lose speed.
How much torque do I need to milling wood in 3D?
