Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Gecko NEMA 42 Modifications - will I need it ??

My installation manual M-130 for the Series I CNC says that the X,Y, & Z
axes motors consume 8.2 Amps static current (is that "locked-rotor"
torque?), and 6 Amps Max. & 4.6 Amps, Min. in rapid moves (G00). I have all
4 (Operators, Installation, Maintenance, & Programmer's) manuals for the
Bridgeport Series I CNC. If you need any spec's, I'd be willing to help all
I can. Contact me off-list.
