Hi Again Alan,
I optpmistically bought (some seduced by the 600+ ozin rating) for
use on my CNC Router project, but soon realized that the reduction
also reduces the Speed. Duho! :) So I sold them but kept a set of
the Specs for future reference. Then bought some NEMA34s.

I'm interested in finding a great deal (Scrounger to the core) on a 30
(?):1 unit or 2 for a future telescope drive project. Of cource I
need to build the CNC Router first to use to build...

Back on T, a friend is thinking abt using one for tilting the torch
on his CNC plasma cutter.
