HF benchtop conversion ?s

[8man]

All is going well with my new project, with one exception.

My mini mill uses a different pitch for the z-axis handwheel.
Small wheel is locked out, using main lifting screw for my conversion.

How do I set a different pitch or different value for Z without changing
the X + Y??

Mill is HF 47158 - using xylotex 3-axis board - stock screws

8man,
The movement paramaters are setup in the intial configuration in the ini file. You access this from the "Configure" menu. After you tell it the number of axis, you then tell each axis the amount of movement per step in the "Scale" parameter. This number will be based on the encoder count, drive reduction (if the encoder is mounted on the servo or stepper is not direct drive), and pitch of the screw.
It is pretty well documented in the manual. Give it a read and if you have problems, get back to us.

I was having trouble with the program changing the other two (x+y) after I changed the z. Tcnc would change the other two to match. It seems to be ok now though. Thanks.
