    Where did you get this mill? If it's a new Taig, it should have come with a CD that has all the files you need. Did it have a binder with instructions? In the binder, there's a plastic sleeve that should have the CD in it.

    For Taig's Ballscrews...
    4064 steps per inch

    That may or may not work with the Deepgroove control, which is different from Taig's half-stepping controller box. If you're setting this up by hand, you need to multiply the number of steps in a full revolution of the motor (200, usually) by the pitch of the screws (5 per inch, for the ball screws Taig uses) and the microstepping factor (2, for Taig's controller). That comes to 2000, but I'm not sure how many microsteps Deepgroove uses. The OP, being in Norway, will probably need to convert to steps/mm, since that's the unit commonly in use there. That comes to approximately 78.74, if you've got Taig's controller, but the actual number is longer.

    I have now got an answer from deeproove. He sent me a link that I have to look through in order to find out the settings.
