Re: Newbie questions: Enco milling table conversion?

Thanks, Jon! Luckily I found a few of the specs for my steppers, so
I can apply the principles on the page you pointed me to. Since
speed isn't a concern right now, I will try to keep things in the
range with the most torque ( < 120RPM). Now, it is time to start
conversion attempt number 1, as I'm sure it will be an iterative
process.

Thanks again,

Bill Byler
