Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Which is best?

Hi,

A fair rule-of-thumb is that to run a stepper with good speed and torque you
need a power supply about 20x the rated voltage of the stepper. In motor 1
this would mean a DC supply of 140 volts. Whereas the motor 2 would require
34 volts. It would run quite well at 24volts.
