BOB and Mach3

[tpmx57]

Can someone give me some info in setting up a BP series 2 cnc to run with a Hillbilly board?
I have the mill running on mach3 and need to know how to setup the quadrature pulses so 1" midi equals 1" of axis movement.
I am using 2000 in "steps per" under motor tuning but my machine is not moving 1" for 1".
Also how do you set up a feedrate to manualy jog and then press shift to rapid the jog?

When you MDI move exactly 1.000", how far does the table move, exactly to the nearest thou? Make sure you start off in one direction, zero our your indicator and keep moving the same direction so backlash doesn't play with your table movement.
