Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Newbie question: Motor sizing

Mariss,
Ok, I understand all that you have said EXCEPT one of the "assumptions"

In the example, you use 500 lbs of "push". Is this a realistic number or
how did you arrive at this figure??

I ask, as I am trying to see if some servo motor I have will work using
your formulas. Any help will be appreciated.
