Initial test of parting with power feed using the Electronic Leadscrew. I added a feature to retract the tool periodically to help with chip clean up and it worked very nicely.
One thing of concern is the torque required for larger diameter stock is going to stall the 1.2Nm stepper that drives the X axis without reduction. I need to replace it with a bigger stepper motor or add a pulley reduction.
