Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Bridgeport Stepper Motor (Amp Rating of motor)

Gary;
The BP motors were likely set up at 8-11 amps so you will have no problem
running wide open.

Microkinetics buys their power supplies from a third party. They are good
quality (I have three) and the price is better than DigiKey charges for the
same item. Perhaps there is better pricing elsewhere but I don't know of
any.
