  • Do you want to start making tumblers but don't know how to get started? Today I'm walking through how to get your steps per rotation ready and all the things you need on hand to make your first tumblers.
    Calculation for Steps per Rotation:
    New Steps = Old Steps / measured length * intended length.
    e.g.: You want to cut 100mm but get 105mm (meaning your current steps are too high) and your current steps are 200:New Steps = 200 / 105 * 100 = 190.476190

    your square you made in lightburn wasn't actually square. it was 25.4 x 28.331. You should turn the lock OFF and adjust both sides of the square to be equal. I'm assuming your steps per rotation are making up for it somehow. Thanks for the video by the way, all the Thunder videos make lots of assumptions that we know what we are doing already :)

      @@ThingsKatieMakes totally, I'm a beginner and it was.much more thorough than anything else I've seen so far. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy on how you measured things 😜
