Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] RE: big Gecko question

Hi,
I have just about finished a Mori-Seiki lathe, the servo motors were 94Vdc
44amp. I used the largest Rutex drive, Drives the motors very well. I have
cut 300mm dia bar stock, with 10mm depth of cut and it didn't miss a beat.
The only draw back is that you need a HUGE power supply.
