03:14 PM unterhaus: how do you have the switches set for smoothness and microstepping?
03:19 PM PavelTretiakov[m: microstepping 1/8
03:31 PM unterhaus: okay, I just read the manual and the drive is tunable. I think the tuning is off, and maybe you could get help from the manufacturer
03:32 PM Rhine_Labs: Got to a stainless cabinet for the lather controls.
03:33 PM unterhaus: Are you sure the lights on the drive don't change when that resonance happens?
