I built a benchtop CNC machine and recently after upgrading the motor to an 800W air cooled unit (I wanted software speed control as well) I also upgraded the Z axis bearings to linear units. The problem is that I now have slippage of the Z axis. As far as I am aware the stepper units are locked electrically during other operations but gravity takes effect when I am lowering the tool.
Is there a mechanical or electrical fix to this problem?
