Hi Joe. Welcome to the Zone!

You don't say what motors you are running, or what PSU.

I will assume 425 oz and 24V.

The 425s are not the BEST motor for G540, but will benefit from a higher Voltage PSU and because it has speed morphing and mid band resonance compensation, the G540 WILL improve your setup.

I would recommend the $60 48V PSU and $289 G540 from Keling:

Sell the Xylotex before it dies.

I am not sure of the motors but I think x y and a are287 oz and the z is 350 ??? . not real sure not at home right now to check. I an not sure what 540 that keiling has for 389 saw one for 289

I need to check into this. I can not run over 12 ipm or I lose step it is better with emc2 controler over mach3


thanks for the info JOE

Whoops! That was a typo, Joe. $289 is the correct price. Your IPM should be WAY faster with the G540.
