Subject: KFlop + Taig
I have a Taig mini mill and was looking at getting the SmoothStepper but recently found the KFlop. From all the searching here, CNC Zone, and google in general, I can't find anyone who has paired a KFlop with a Taig mini mill. I have to ask, is there anything that's obvious that I'm missing which would make the Taig + KFlop not a good pick? For reference, the Taig lead screws are 20TPI.

Hi Titus,

I don't know of anyone specifically.  What type of stepper drives do you have?

Hi Titus,

You didn't include specifications, a link, or model number.  I Googled and found this:

http://www.automationdirect.com/static/manuals/surestepmanual/surestepdrive_datasheet.pdf

Is that your drive?  If so, the Step/Direction timing looks compatible.

TK

Sorry, you said stepper _driver_ not which stepper motor. I have a Gecko G540 which I have seen other people using with the KFlop so I assume it's compatible.

Hi Titus,

Oops, I misread as well.  G540 is compatible.
