More Decimal Places in the Default Axis GUI

I had to rebuild the dressers and other items on the machine now its closer to test. I have some TESA units for reference but i can only get between 40-50 millionths resolution. There is alittle backlash but im not to worried about that now i need to start grinding and testing. I know it does go below 40 millionths but i cannot see or very repeatablity for CP or Cpk.

You are right i see that the resolution goes in moves of .000039 inch which comes out to about one step. I havent done micro stepping because i cant afford to loose steps due to torque calculations we are at the limit. Which comes to my next problem.

When i call for a G00 i have a crazy high feed rate which i have set in the steppnc and does not respect. I need to max the feed rate of g00 to about 10in/min. How can i override this.

The ini axis settings are in machine units/second. So for an inch machine putting 10 in for the MAX_VELOCITY will give a max speed of 600 in/min. So to get the speeds you want don't forget to divide your inches/minute by 60 when you put your entries in the ini file.

Despite what is often said, microstepping does not reduce motor maximum torque. It does reduce the torque-per-step.
If you are at the torque limit then it is likely that the motor will sit on the full steps anyway, regardless of microstepping.

However, for finishing passes and low loads you might well see an improvement in machine accuracy with higher microstepping.
