Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Stepper Motor Source

eBay nearly always has a good assortment of stepper auctions going on at any one time. I usually do a search with the phrase "step* mot*" and have good luck picking up a lot of hits. There are usually some stepper driver auctions going on all the time, too.

I know this is a pretty newbie question, but I've looked in the archives and
still haven't found a good answer. Where can I find a stepper source? I
need 4 steppers (4 phase unipolar) for a project I am working on. I'm
looking for some that are about twice as strong as the floppy drive motor
everybody plays with. The problem is, everywhere on the net I find costs
hundreds of dollars and comes bundled with a driver board/box. I don't need
a controller or driver circuit as I've already got my own micro setup to
drive them.
Does anybody know of a place that just sells steppers? Or for instance, a
page or part number for a company like oriental motors that is *JUST* the
stepper?
Not sure what kind of torque I need, but a 5.25 floppy motor barely gets the
job done, so If I double that I should be good.


Thanks for any help.
