Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Stepper motors for mill/drill & source of supply?

Before I switched from steppers to servos I used 300 oz in stepper motors
on my mill drill . They worked very well with the ballscrew retrofit that I
did. But if you still have acme leadscrews then I would go with 300 oz in +
steppers.
