Another question. On my DQ545MA with a nema 23 stepper motor what should my microstep dip switch settings be, 8?
Finally I have it all together. I have gotten the stepper motors to move, but unsure of what the $ settings in grbl should be. Can anyone help me...
I got side tracked this winter, so I did not have to much time to work on the cnc. Still progressing slowly. Finished the control panel box....
That is correct, I only used the router bit with bearing guide to do the bearing pocket. I cut the plate to shape with a hacksaw. If guess I could...
