How many Steps per mm ? Micromill 2000

Post by shgarshane » Sat 02 Feb , 2013 3:26 am

Hi Everyone,
I'm kind of a nooooobie that is having problems.

I've been trying to get this Micromill 2000 working but I dont have the proper software and registration keys. So I've decided to replace the existing with 3rd party electronics.

As I've begun to calibrate it, I've come across the issue of configuring how many steps per mm. Does anyone know?
I also found that I cannot figure out the dimensions of the x,y axes to accurately create something in the center of the work area.


If you have any ideas on what the answers may be I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks!
Shane


PS I'm selling the rest of the electronics in the Micromill.
