Posted: Thu Jul 28, 2022 12:01 pmIf it has a chuck, chuck up a piece of square stock that you can place a digital protractor on. Take the protractor reading. Us the calibrate function, telling the axis to rotate 10 times (3600 degrees.) Take another protractor reading and then input that into the calibration.

If your Motor is 200 steps per rotation and you have 10 micro steps thats 2000 steps per rev. Multiplied by lets say 2.3 :1 gear ratio is 4600 / 360 = 12.77 steps per degree.
200 * 10 = 2000
2000 * gear ratio(2.3) = 4600 /360 = 12.77 degrees per step.
Hope this helps.
