I just got my Taig setup, I am using Flashcut and I cannot get over 8ipm. If I go any faster the motor will freeze and it will say the computer can't communicate with the Flashcut box.
I've messed around with the feedrate and ramping settings and that's the best I can get. I am wondering if it could have to do with the stepper motors? The ones I have are supposed to be 166 oz, I don't know for sure though it looks like they had labels on them that were ripped off. There was one that is bigger and I put it on the Z axis, however it doesn't go any faster.
Would I get faster rapids if I went to a different/stronger stepper motor? Could it have something to do with Flashcut?
