Ya'll got me fixed up with the CNC controller problem but I have another query.
The little lathe conversion is using only 2 stepper motors of the 3 on the mill it's grafted to. I'm doing a LONG job with it and it ocurred to me that the mill's Z-axis stepper is just sitting there making heat. Would it damage the controller to just unplug the unused stepper until it's needed again?
