Stepper Motor

[Lyndon Miller]

I am having issues with my stepper motor on the left side rail of my Torchmate 4800 running behind and causing it to cut jagged when cutting a circle. IS my motor going bad or is it something else?

What speeds are you trying to run the table at? Set it to something like 100ipm, a speed you *know* should work fine. If it still has issues, then I'd start looking at the motor, belt, belt tension, etc. I know when I first got my machine running, the speed was set super high, like 300ipm or something, and it was dropping tons of movement until I slowed it down.
