RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] which steppers to buy?

220 in/oz on a Bridgeport??? Remember, the stock steppers on a series 1
(about the size of a manual Bridgeport) is an 1,100 in/oz motor. About 150
in/oz is considered the norm for a Sherline or Taig and in the 350 - 500
in/oz range is considered normal for a 3 in 1 or a mill drill.
