Has anyone successfully paired mesa hardware/linuxcnc with baldor flex drives? I have a set along with baldor motors that I would like to try and use linuxcnc with on a plasma table.

Also follow the link to tuning. Please add some photos of motor plates, servo drive plates, and photos of encoders/resolvers.

I'm using the microflex drives they have pulse and direction input, you can tune the servos with the mint workbench software and its free on abb website
not sure if those are supported but there is lots of good documentation on the abb/baldor website
