Steppers stalling.

So I got my novamil all coverted to mach3 for a while.
But I have been having trouble with the x and y. Especially the x.
For no good reason it will stall. Not when ploughing through stuff but just when doing a move.
I have decreased acceleration. Incread and decreased micro stepping. Same with amps. Usually it makes it worse. And I can't get over 1000mm a min or the motors stall.
Sooner or later it seems to stall whatever
I have now ordered some nema 23 motors as I think the x may be on the blink. They all meter out except the y thay somtimes read right on 1 phase. And sometimes it just wont settle on the meter.
When they are installed I will see as not had this unpredictable trouble with nema motors before. It's always been an obveouls overload or somthing.
When it's working I'm quite impressed. It will basically cut to the power limit of the motors. I'm sure it would do much more with more power. The frame is super strong.
Have taken 18mm deem at 0.5mm step over 800mm a min feed in aluminium. And that's about as much as the spindle motor can drive. It did that job without an problem. So it's not an overload issue.
