Re: Sizing servo motors for BP size mill

100"/min is a nice comfortable speed for small parts, not so fast
that you can't hit the e-stop to save a part if you've got a
programming error.

At the other extreme, the new DMG machines are advertising
3900+"/min. Pretty scary, even at 10% feedrate override you'd still
have 400"/min. That's a machine I'd like to see being demo'ed.

BTW, do you get over to Triangle Machinery in San Jose? They used to
have servo's.
