    My machine is cutting a circle .540 undersized on my 3018 router. Help please and thank you. $100 and $101 $102 is set at 303.03

    Hi Poolrod, sounds like you need to calibrate your steps per mm.
    If using openbuilds standard screws and 1/8 micro stepping, then 200 steps per mm should be closer to perfect, not sure where 303.03 came from.


    Cheers
    Gary

    Yes, 303.03 sounds strange. Given a 200* 8 motor config, then 303.03 would need a lead (mm/rev) of 5.28 (if my calc's are right) which sounds weird.

    Hi Gary, it is a 3018 SE router. It needed to be $400 $400 $400. Thank you and have a great day.
